    YES, Larry you are my hero!

    *awkwardly dancing around*

    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 :)

    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.

    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.

    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.
