POETRY
The Artemis
by Stephen C. Curro
Four engines propel the Artemis
Through fair and crystal skies
Between clouds thick like boulders
Above green earth and turquoise seas
A hull of steel and steam and hope
With cannons held in strict reserve
Her crew guides her with passionate vision
In the spirit of filling blank pages
Just for the sake of filling them
