poem “Livermorium, vanishing in our grasp”, a Periodic Table Twitter Verse poem for learning about the element #116, Livermorium (Lv), about how this was finally discovered in California, even though Russian doctors also worked with them, and was named for the lab and the city, which was originally named after a rancher and landowner, but this highly radioactive element has such a short half-life that we cannot learn about it - but we are still fascinated enough with it that there are plans to create a plaza with its name in honor of the element Livermorium, By Chicago Poet Janet Kuypers

You had another name for years,
& you’re surprised we don’t know you.
Named for the lab & city you were made
that was 1st named for a rancher/landowner,
we synthesized you— but w/ your short half-life,
you vanished in our grasp. But still,
we’ll build a plaza for you, & our love.
