  1. I found National Poetry Month is more fun than work...mostly. Thanks for the feedback.
  2. National Poetry Month 2017 Part I - Prose Poetry and Dream-Write Prompt: Prose Poetry. Prose Poetry is an example of a hybrid genre of writing. Prose poems occur when someone writes prose using poetry techniques. Prose contains narrative and does not follow any set rhythm, while poetry is rhythmic and image-based. Prose poetry is anything that combines these elements into a single piece of writing. Prose poetry is poetry that is not written in verse and contains other poetic attributes, suc

    Thank you How about you write your own story? Plotted chapters in our heads, that's what authors dream of. Jump another 30 years into the future, imagine your own characters and write down all that is in your head. The beginning and the ending of the story will come to you while you plunge into your own adventure. Good luck, if you decide to so. I'd certainly be curious to read your plot. Thanks again for reading and commenting.

    The Globe, New York, May 5, 2074 BREAKING NEWS — Missing spaceship Shiva coming home after more than five years in space NASA officials announced today that they received a message from missing spaceship Shiva. The spaceship took off on August 8, 2068, and reached its target, star system X104 in the constellation of Scorpius five months later. After a one-month exploration of the star system, located 25,000 light years from Earth, the spaceship landed on exoplanet X104C7, also called Terra

    Thank you, TABandit and centexhairysub. I'll post the final chapter of the story today, but you're right that in a sense the story is just the beginning of a longer tale, Earth's future in space and how the humans will cope, but I will leave this to the readers' thoughts and imaginations. Many thanks for reading and commenting. I'm glad you liked the plot.

    “What do you mean? Train our brains? Erase our memories? Or what?” Dan asked, disgusted. Naamah raised his hand. “You don’t have to worry. Calm down. Your memories will remain intact. I’ll explain it to you.” “Rob said that the humans aren’t ready for contact with an extraterrestrial civilization. Do you also believe what Rob said?” Tamiel asked, turning to the other men. They nodded, even Dan complied. “I was prepared for this mission and still I can’t cope,” Dan said. “It frightens

    Chapter 10

    The Asuras left. Azrael contacted Supreme Command and, in his function as a Devas representative, demanded information on the planned procedure. He was told that decision was delayed until the wounded Earth man had recovered from his injuries. The other men were refined to their quarters. More interrogations were scheduled. Azrael wielded his influence and finally Supreme Command gave permission for a meeting between Tamiel and Rob. The talk would of course be carefully studied by Supreme Com

  15. Like others I don't get notifications on comments on stories and I don't get email notifications at all. I tried with different settings, but neither works. Once the problem is solved, would somebody please be so kind and let me know the exact settings for onsite notifications AND email notifications. I'm desperate meanwhile. Thank you.

    The interrogation lasted several hours. Then security led the Earth men to their quarters. A man introduced them into the food processor and the bathroom and then left the room. Dan rushed to the door, but it did not slide open. “Locked up,” Dan said. “We’re probably being monitored, too.” “We would do the same,” John said, sounding tired. The men sat down in chairs around a table. “They got all the answers they wanted, but they told us little,” Dan said. “Where is this space base? H

    Sumeru Control Center The control center was crowded when Naamah stepped in. After a heated discussion, Sumeru security had finally let him in. Naamah proceeded to the controls. A huge screen showed a small and antique spaceship in a hangar. “Who are you?” an elder man asked, turning to Naamah. “Naamah, the Asuras representative,” Naamah said. “Our species is responsible for the civilization on Ki.” The man mustered him and thought a minute. “I’ve heard of it,” he said. “I’ve downlo

    Chapter 7

    Dan put on his suit and took his equipment and weapons. He hurried towards the building at the end of the runway and entered it. The others sat motionless, tensed, unable to turn their eyes from the building. Half an hour passed, then Dan stepped out. He returned to the ship and joined the others. The men in the cockpit calmed down. “Nothing,” Dan said. “I saw and heard nothing. I didn’t sense a thing. All was quiet, too quiet, I think.” “I’ll send another message to ground control Eart

    John sat down. “What’s wrong with the communication system, Dan? Did you find a failure?” he asked. Dan shook his head. “No failure records. The communication system appears to work properly. The system says our messages get out, but I think they don’t. Ground control has not replied because they got nothing to confirm.” “Would they not have tried to send a message themselves?” John asked doubtfully. “Hours went by. They must be waiting for news. I’m certain they have sent a message by now
