poem “Flerovium, doubly magic?”, a Periodic Table Twitter Verse poem for learning about the element #114, Flerovium (Fl), which talks about how Flerovium is considered doubly magic because of its numbers 114 and 184 in the nuclear shell model, but people around the world have been looking of isotopes that have longer half lives (therefore more stable), including Seaborg looking in the BART (Bay Area Rapid Transport) tunnel, Russia looking in lead-lined stained glass church windows, the USA looking in 60 million-year-old shark teeth, even moon rocks and elevatedf wather balloons, becase scientists are still looking for the magic qualities of just the right element, By Chicago Poet Janet Kuypers

Flerovium’s magic is in its nuclear shell #s 114 & 184,
so we search for it.
Seaborg: the BART* tunnel.
Russia: lead-lined stained glass church windows.
USA: 60 million-year-old shark teeth,
even moon rocks...
So I tell you, we science-types
will still search to find that magic.

* Bay Area Rapid Transport
