Okay, you’ve got a poet girl’s take on the elements here, but if you want to hear audio on a science geek’s perspective on these elements, go to ChemistryinitsElement for the story behind each element (by listening to podcasts from Chemistry World).   You can also follow this link for a periodic table that tells you how to actually use all those elements.   Come here for An Illustrated Periodic Table Showing How Chemical Elements Interact With Our Everyday Lives.   Come to Science mag for the 2017 Elemental haiku By Mary Soon Lee of haiku poems for every element (all 119 of them now) in a Periodic Table display.

The “Janet left-step Periodic Table”
was created by Charles Janet in 1928, and is considered to be the
most significant alternative to the traditional depiction of the periodic system;
organizing elements according to orbital filling and is widely used by physicists.
