    A beautiful story with a surprising twist at the end. I'm happy they made it.

  6. Many thanks for reading the texts and leaving a review. Found poetry is experimental poetry after all.
  7. Prompt 20 - Found Poetry Prompt: Write three Found Poems on the themes of 'Loss,' 'Memory,' and 'Celebration.' Your source material is The Dead, by James Joyce. You may decide if you wish to explore metre in your poem or not, or rhymes to accent certain parts. You may also wish to consider using a repeating section as a refrain. Let your imagination run free, as long as you allow the three principal themes to guide your creation of three freestanding works. I decided to build a separate wor
  8. Thanks for the feedback, AC Benus. It took me some time to finish the poem, but I definitely liked the prompt.
  9. I was happy to find a guitar piece named Lullaby and didn't realize it was the wrong melody.... Thanks for your feedback. I'm glad you like the poem.
  10. Thank you, aditus. I'm glad you like the poem. I didn't realize I picked the wrong song, just found I liked the guitar piece better
  11. Since I wasn’t particular fond of the Gerswhin piano or string version, I looked for a rock version of Lullaby. The only version I found is a recording by Viktor Zinchuk, a Russian guitarist: http://tidido.com/a35184373768689/al55d740db13b521ef2299bd8e/t55d740db13b521ef2299bdac Poem: Siren Song sleep, sleep, sleep, sleep it’s time to dream dream ----------------- and sleep safe and sound safe and sound safe and sound I dream --------------- what?...Oh...I hear a song a sweet song sung by you st
  12. "So I drove all day and night until there was no more road, then turned around and drove back." I read it several times. It's simple, logical and at the same time weird. I like it a lot.
  13. # 5 is very good!

    Chapter 2

    Thank you, Stephen. I'm glad you enjoyed the story. I'll continue with a somewhat different piece. We'll learn about Earth's past and the secret project Dan talked of.
  15. Here's an attempt at grading Science Fiction for realism: http://www.kheper.net/topics/scifi/grading.html It's a matter of taste, I think.
  16. Nephthys was a sinister place ten times the size of the Earth, a dark and cold planet, a vast menacing orb far away from the sun. The ship went into orbit and the computer scanned the surface. “Absolutely no signs of life,” Hulton said, analyzing the first set of data. “A core of rock and a mantle of ice. Gravity similar to Earth’s despite of the size of the planet. Computer is analyzing the material. The atmosphere consists of a thin envelope of nitrogen, methane, and carbon monoxide gases, w

    Thank you. Glad to hear you liked the chapter.
  19. Space Pioneer 5 - Nephthys “I was proud of my son and I was devastated when the ship was lost. I’d never have imagined to see Jeff again. I can only thank you once more for taking him home, although this whole situation is hard to cope with,” Jeff’s father said. They were sitting on the porch. It was a warm summer evening. Dan Caspar looked at the blackening sky. Lest was watching him. They had arrived in the afternoon. Lest had landed the Horus shuttle in the backyard of the Caspar count
  20. Jeff and Lest visit Earth. Jeff’s father tells them of a secret space project he was involved in. The Horus travels to Nephthys, the recently discovered outmost planet of the solar system , to investigate. Did an alien species establish an operation base on the planet in the far past? Are they long gone or still around? Jeff, Lest, and Doctor Midad land on the planet.
  21. Your poems are actually very good.
  22. Thank you. I'm happy to hear you liked the poems.
  23. Thank you, AC Benus. I'm glad you liked the poems. The second prompt was a tough challenge because the movie was devastating. Thanks for another intriguing poetry challenge.
  24. Musings I’m lying on the ground, watching the sky And I wonder what is out there and why I travel there, faster than light, and see Aliens, planets, and spaceships flying by *** Bridge A bridge in the forest at dim twilight A drear dismal image of black and white The atmosphere’s hazy, cold and unreal A surreal scene of horror and fright What’s going on?
