Science Fiction Poetry

Fidál (Grace), 19 Kamal (Perfection), 165 B.E. – Tuesday, August 19, 2008 about 6:34 AM PDT

OK, Tuesday, August 19, has started out as a good day. I got up at 3:00 AM, after deciding that I really did not want to say in bed. I considered it, but there was not going back to sleep and lying in bed when I cannot sleep, just makes me tired. There is no use me being tired and sleepless in Las Vegas.

I have written two science fiction poems this morning, which I will submit to an online science fiction contest on August 20. The deadline for the contest is August 31, so I can let the poems lie before submitting them. This will give me a chance to think up some better titles. The working titles I give them fit the poems; however, they do not strike a chord with my muses. I think there may be better titles.

I found out about the contest yesterday, so two poems about the theme of energy in that short a time is good. I believe I can submit three separate poems, at least that is what I remember reading when I checked the website last night. The URL is http://www.sfpoetry.com/2008poetrysubs.php. I have to come up with another energy poem if I am going to submit three.

I do not think I have any other energy poems written. Therefore, I am going to have to find the inspiration for another one. The inspiration for the two I have already written was a game I played or watched my brother's play, as a child and coffee. Coffee and chocolate inspire a lot o my poems. Maybe a chocolate poem about energy would be good, I will have to think about that.
