Verse First ~ Reaction

Welcome to Verse First, where simple notions prompt amazing poems.

Today's notion?

REACTION

Consider the term from a variety of scientific perspectives:

Botanists recognize the greening of plants and development of foliage as the photodynamic reaction in the first stage of photosynthesis. The plants are converting energy they glean from the sun.

A chemical reaction is a process that leads to the transformation of one set of chemical substances to another.

In medicine, an adverse drug reaction describes harm associated with the use of medications at a normal dosage during normal use.

Psychologists and philosophers consider emotion to be the generic term for subjective, conscious experience, characterized  by psychophysiological, biological and mental reactions to stimuli.

And of course, we recall Newton's third laws of motion, which states that every action is accompanied by an equal but opposite reaction.

If that's all too technical for you, or if you simply prefer a visual prompt, here's an unidentified image:
