quark

The smallest known building blocks of matter. Protons and neutrons are each made of 3 quarks. Quarks are never found alone, only in groups of two or more. An attempt to separate two quarks generates enough energy to create two more.

Quarks, wordgluons, wordelectrons, damn physics is hot!

karass

A group of people linked in a cosmically significant manner, even when superficial linkages are not evident. Created by Kurt Vonnegut.

When I met Thomas, I quickly got the feeling that he was part of my karass.

poetry

A form of literature. There is no sharp distinction between poetry and prose, but poetry is generally thought of as placing more emphasis on sound and rhythm. It is also generally more acceptable to defy conventional rules of grammar in poetry than in prose.

Poems can be written in many standard forms such as iambic pentameter or haiku. Poems can also be written without adhering to any standard form. This is called free verse.

Good hip-hop is some of the livest poetry around today.
