Mixed colours sparkle briefly through Forward Screen Heralding Arcturus' suns A friendly greeting then from this our latest port We come to gather fresh blood New followers for the fold "Passengers" for our glorious ark Drifting now to land grey, tense and uninspired, gazing listless at the dark... -ö- Through 'Screens' to Central All in order "On you go..." And out to the hordes 'same in every sector relentless motion & search for survival A soft smile to one another The same old game played once again. "It's too easy" Bored. "Don't worry. 'Over soon. We'll drink their best tonight." Liquid pulse thought electric faster than starlight flicker A group of five drift easy, close behind Tagged now in instant melding "One-Two-Three and A-B-C..." And so home free. "Leavers" Positive okay. Good. Goodbye Starfire. Flick up. Away. -ö- Smiles all round. Relax. Feet up. A cathedral of stars light Forward One. Halo on halo we sit in shadows of silver. "...sweet stuff..." "Mmm.. Nice design..." "Blackberries and green marmelade..." "Yeh, and pumpkins fresh from the field..." Silence falls. The ship hums softly. Smiling, incisors palely flicker. 5 ghostly stars dance slowly on each one. [This message has been edited by allan (edited 05-23-2000).] |

Very interesting, great imagery, like travling. Joel. I howl a mournful song, that echos within my chambered heart, for all to read? nay for all to feel. |

Thanks both! I'm really pleased you liked this - I wasn't too confident about it! I put it together yesterday. Today I was still in a Sci-Fi-ey mood so this tongue-in-cheek number transpired. (Just for phun) A Planet Eats Itself! ** Flash! ** Big News! See the Barbarians! Laugh your antennae off! Your reporter can hardly contain himself Such a strange race has been found! What they find, they eat! You just have to see it! The Time Nexus shows for 3 million years they lived just like us. Respecting themselves, their planet. Then Zow! See them eat! It's a hoot! They scurry each day to and fro. They call it working! Then buy all this krek with the stuff they get! You have to see it! But, try not to laugh! These poor primitives have caught some terrible disease. And must be released... Catch this InScan while you can! Laugh, groan or learn! AVAILABLE 'TILL 3rd SettingSun! Tune in then for Planet Flash Erasure! (Molecular Dispersion Meditation to follow). Should be a great show folks! And now we return you to your scheduled broadcast of "Honeymoons in Hyperspace" Enjoy! [This message has been edited by allan (edited 05-24-2000).] |
