Poetry and Science don’t always
Appear to marry very well
But there are times
Amid these rhymes
When similar stories they tell
Science supports the quite Poetic view
I am both like and different from you
Though we hail from a like molecular start
Differences arise to set us apart
Poetry and Science do keep
Some common goals in mind
Both delving into the deep
While seeking to aid mankind
By examination of life’s glory
Both illuminate the human story
Scientists do quite logically rely
On observations of scientific eye
Poetry and Prose are much different art
Better envisioned when aided by the heart
Poets need not ever argue with Science
Nor should those of Science forgo reliance
On the value of the views brought
By what Poetry has wrought
If something at length be True
Such Truth will be valid then
No matter latter have you
Proved it by Science or Pen
Excellent concept, and last paragraph, thank you for sharing your ideas, Mary,

I love this! ! ! ! You have bottlenecked objectivity, subjectivity and relativity so well into a test tube that the praxis in action of theory should no doubt be observed repeatedly! ! !
A lovely expression of the fact that only Turth matters, that poetry and science are both important to their roles and to human beings.
Ultimately I think a true Poet has the edge A scientist is a bit confined by the need to prove his find. But for a poet true such as one like you to others you need not prove what inside you knew.
