Underground River of Palawan, by the author

What leads reality to fantasy, we surmise;
the saga of the Pied Piper of Hamlyn,
Jules Verne's Kraken, Loch Ness monster,
from fantasy to reality stories rise.

Nostradamus prophesy, Malthus' theory;
the Bible - fiction, science, tales, all
mixed up in archives and social media
where one is led to think and feel free.

Scientific protocol: Koch's Postulate,
Linnaeus' nomenclature, Mendeleev's,
computer prediction models of today,
Quarks and Higgs Boson as of late.

To where do all these lead us, we ask,
after moon landing, soon to planet Mars;
if fantasy a means of escape from reality,
then rationality is but a fateful mask. ~

Re-incarnation - this elephant tree had been
once roaming around in band;
threatened, endangered and gone,
what would it become the next time around?

Some cryptobotany may well be pseudoscience,
but it is also true to say that some "respectable"
botanists are cryptobotanists... - MacRusgail
