(this came out of a post on PHILOSOPHY 101 which asked what kind of poetry a Vulcan might write, thought this would perk up your ears a bit.) Attempting to imagine what kind of poetry Vulcans might write, I will attempt to go where no man has gone before... I dreamed I launched a mission into farthest bands of distant space, not looking for anomalies or planets of eccentric race that I could study from and learn, or rogue some high grade fuel to burn. I'm not the Kirk of "Enterprise", and neither am I Janeway lost. But what I seek, desired by me, I must obtain at any cost. I've heard galactic rumors from the milky way to quadrants far, whispered on the primal Earth whose grapevines reach the utmost star. "Those somber pointy-eared ones, Yeah those smartsome rigid weird ones like that Spock dude on T.V. are quite adept at poetry." So ever since my blunt ears heard, I've been suspended like a bird that always seeks it's furry pray. "Real Vulcan Poetry?? NO WAY!" Yet in my quest I've come across too many frauds and cheats. Acrostics by the androids signed "Tuvak" on scan-lined sheets, Epics by Cardacians, And Klingon light verse styles, Haiku by the Borg, a dime a dozen through the miles. I do wonder if I'll ever find this mystic straight-laced rhyme for which I've journeyed countless parsecs splayed through space and time. But when I do, I hope I'll not be disappointed sore, sulkin', reading Vulcan poetry yet wanting more than that which sage faced "DATA" might appreciate supreme. And it would stand to logic seeing what was in my dream. . . I saw a warthog slumped inside my head. (Note how he slumbers.) For Neelix just can't hang with Vulcan rhymes composed with NUMBERS!!!! Oooooh Spock, your poetry doth ROCK!!!! 67484965 83467498767 34957348975934857 598577557 609686 43908758975 509584304968349068 409683469084-2 5098690568 3047489745973450 059 3-458430598345908 <-------(ENJAMBMENT) or (EARJAMbment?)

Now you have gone and done it. You have mention many of the space characters I have enjoyed. Good write. Now I need my quota of space fantasies. |

You've taken me on a rather fun trip through the mind of a vulcan....wah00........A wonderful read.  I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust. I'm in love with my shadow I admire it daily |

Thanks everyone... This one was fun on a stellar level! My wife is a "Trekie". I like it but am not quite so obsessed as to earn such a revered title. Anyway I consulted her on alot of this stuff just to make sure I was fairly accurate (as Spock would have me to be). Since I didn't know the stuff like she does, it was only logical! }}}}}}}} Live Long and prosper ! <= ^ , ^ => __ [This message has been edited by Stephanos (edited 01-28-2001).] |
