    I'll let my brother know and hopefully he'll log into his account on here, which he hasn't done in probably a year.

    Oh, and makes me think of Stargate. That's mainly what I grew up with :)

    Stargate, Battlestar Galactica, Dune, V, Alien(s),
    Let's open it wide to even include books (Ringworld, Foundation, World of Slan, Martian Chronicles . . . .)

    Can I create my own sci fi poem without having to reference any of the movies? Or shows? If so... I am so in.

  • Larry Chamberlin

    Okay,
    Let's say poems are due by the 23d.
    Any style, formed or not, any length.

    Space is the theme. You may take inspiration from any sci-fi space show, film or book or make your own space story.

    Note: this is the 50th Anniversary of Star Trek.

    Em, in the space of this forum, may you find a universe where you could expand your thoughts at the same time as this universe expands with the rest of the other's poet's thoughts.

    and wondering if the
    Rancore gets indigestion.

    Will the fall of
    Anakin bring any
    Rest to the galaxy?

    Silent in campus
    trying to start
    a conversation with Chewbacca
    right after a slumber

    while walking slow...
    a girl turns into Princess Leia
    ready to fight a war
    so similar to star wars!

    Em, you can also try to write a double acrostic.

    Mr. Larry, thanks.
