Chron's - original poem

 

chron's

bless me

with a shortwave

indigo light form

waterfalling

over my guts

intestines

all intertwined

billowed and puffy

pulsing

in painful

wavelike

syncopations

ballooning

in Iretan smelling

atmospheric

clouds of gas

beads of sweat

dribbling

down my neck

scatological

avalanches

ceramic monsoons

with each

painful

life depleting

push

I purge

the after-meals

of yesterday

the parts of earth

I stuffed inside

and got scared

wanting to run out

evading all the platforms

and organic moving parts

getting out swiftly

violently

amateurishly

in the nightmare hours

under hot shower

steams

layers - original poem

 

layers

all the different layers of earth

tortilla nacho white

jaundiced yellow citrine

fuzzy cat pink

paired with baby blue

surrounded by besieged khaki

under a molten

mocha brown cinnamon

sugar coated crust

ill lick each layer

as each one

of my personality's

masks unrfurl

falling hard

and hardening on the floor

garbage picked

by the lower middle class

trash picking king

and collected

in his basement hole

constantly

resurfacing

every couple of months

or years

or so

Alan Dean Foster SF Covers #1

ALAN DEAN FOSTER...

Probably my favourite SF writer of all time - he's a genius at combining whit and scientific foundations.

Here's some examples of the awesome covers he has out there:

space commute - original poem

 

space commute

I'm sure

we haven't

we couldn't have

travelled that far

or I hope

we mustn't

but what defines fear anyways

but simple

serotonergic secretions

who needs em'

when the Milky Way's

outstretched arms

seem to embrace

an infinite assemblage

of rock monsters

conversing on metal plates

radioactive in glowy spins

and meteorite dragged

mobile homes

searching for something else

another locale

remember

The enforcement's near

no idling past 15 minutes

on the rain shadowed

playground lawn

yawning at daylight

built for communal play

in the differential equations

projecting us

deeper into space

all in a hard day's labor

space commuter

diamond dusted mirror - original poem

 

diamond dusted mirror

maybe my face

won't seem so repulsive

my features less unsettling

if i buy a diamond dusted mirror

from ancient times

so the portaled tarnished ghosts

can help me wash my hair

brush my teeth

and just tidy up

routine maintenance is tricky

having a soul trapped

in a time line different

than my bodily vessel

Piers Anthony Covers #1

Here's a list of 10 notable paperback covers from Piers Anthony - a famous fantasy and sci fi writer.  

I have only read Mercycle by this author thus far, but hope to dive into more of his works soon.  I will likely leave the Xanth series for last since there are so many of them and I have heard people give less than stellar reviews.  

I am holding out until after I read Chthon since I have heard that book was lovely.

Clifford D. Simak Covers #1

Clifford D. Simak is one of my favourite SF authors and his works have some of the coolest cover art as well.  Just wanted to post some photos here to appreciate the awesome art.  I have the following 9 titles and covers, but there are so many other titles are variants out there too.  Awesome SF art and writing here!
