These are the first three stanzas of a poem I've written...any ideas on how to improve?

Amma

The earth is our mother
We must take care of her
The earth is our mother
We must take care of her
heyanna hoyanna heyanyan

Dusky satin sky and sinking night
olive whispers under padding feet
and up the greening slope with rushing breath
Warm feathery susurrus of phoenix flight
comfort me now and at the hour of my death
comfort me now

Ice chalice melting in my trembling hands
a caffeinated penitent awaiting dawn
Mother of Sleepless Nights, thy will be done.
comfort me now and at the hour of my death
heyanna hoyanna heyanyan

Firefly fallen stars passing the gate
Supernova over slumbering forms
Sleep flitting frightened to the silvern moon
who comforts him with kisses like her own
and lights another kiss with a caress
comfort me now—
O my mother

Depending on what book I read, it is either Doyle or Conan Doyle. Does anybody know the correct last name?

World War Z : An Oral History of the Zombie War
by Max Brooks

All I know is it's by the same guy that wrote The Zombie Survival Guide and that Brad Pitt just bought the movie rights to it.

Does anyone know anything else? My brain dead mind wants to know.

How much would you guess an 1674 printing of Thomas Hobbes "Elemente Philosophica De Cive" would be worth? The book is leather bound and in very good condition!

HP sleuths practically live and breathe Harry Potter. I know I spend hours on the internet discussing the finer plot points. Why is that?
