The Titan Plot
Ion clenched his hand to a fist and looked around on the bridge of the ship. His two companions were carrying plasma guns. The captain and the crew of the Cleus spaceship were dead. A young woman was sitting in a seat, her body trembling and her eyes widened. Her mouth formed a silent cry. Chief in command Ion watched her, enraged.
"How could you be so careless, Lady Tiana?" he hissed.
The Titans raised their plasma guns, but Ion waved his hand.
"Wait. Take her down and loc

It's different. Here it is:
Ganymede’s Hounds
Weary their throats with barking
Calling after their abducted master
Furious, the loyal hounds left -
Grieving Ganymede, the beautiful -
For Mount Olympus, heavenwards
To draw god Zeus, hero-king game

I've done Found Poetry so far. There are a lot of interesting prompts on the PoMoSco site. My results are, well, weird. I titled one poem Ganymede's Hounds. It has a subtle beauty to its weirdness.

Spring
April morn, the birds are singing at dawn
A sweet floral fragrance’s filling the room
The sky is blue and the morning sun warm
Spring has come and flowers are in full bloom
I look at the sun rising in the blue sky
I’m glad that winter has finally gone
Happy, revived, and with my spirits high
I open the window, humming a song

Time is ticking
I've embarked on a journey
Inevitably
The seconds pass by
I'm on a mission
To an unknown land
I go beyond, I'm on
The road to nowhere
My memories are fading
The darkness' closing in
I've passed the threshold and
I'm walking in dead silence
But I wish I could tell you
Of the light that I see
Far ahead of me at
The end of the tunnel
I wish I would not leave you
At desperate ends and
I wish I could tell you that
I love you, my son

Two other boys joined the first. They all looked alike, dressed in sweaters and baggy jeans that revealed their underpants. The sight was a pain to his eyes.
Brian was in his forties and not for a million would he have wanted to change place with one of these boys. Brian had a moment of clarity. He ha
