"Harmony" by ~lion-feathers
I find it difficult, and silly
, to make a comment longer than the poem I am commenting
on, but I was really touched by the image in this
piece and the humor in the author's comment.

Rainy Day Love SongI am unprotected.
I am clownish, a buffoon
and clumsy, with my collar
flapping in the wind.
One-celled animals are hatching in my flesh.
Approach me softly.
Come with grace and dignity
or do not come at all.
My nerves are worn
as are the knees on all my trousers,
so worn they feel like smooth soft linen.
I see you grayly behind mist,
cannot tell if you are moving forward.
Approach me like you would
some skittish autumn animal,
trapped out collecting berries
for the coming brutal season.
I will not stoop to eat the corn you throw to me:
come with your hands outstretched
or stay there misty, indistinct, a shade

The Phoenix's Revival I heard their screams. They sounded like dying animals, helpless, numbered. Doomed. And I watched, equally helpless. I watched them kill my son’s clones one by one.
In the beginning, I controlled the world’s most prominent scientists. In the beginning, I changed the course of human history. How ironic then that humanity’s downfall started with my wife’s simple wish.
Claudia wanted children, and I wanted to make an infertile woman pregnant. It seemed easy enough. I had the technology, the money, and the power. By the end of the year, Mason was born. I had a son, an heir to my fiscal legac
"The Phoenix's Revival" by =Amriah
An unusual piece, this is an example of how
rules can be broken. It is made up of telling, with very
little showing. It suits the tone, however, which is a
strange and addictive poetical science that draws the
reader threw the piece. This means that the rare occasions
of 'show' are even more powerful, bonding the reader
to the character. A strangely moving piece of science fiction.

Mysterious EncounterA torn piece of black satin flailed in the wind carelessly as the cool breeze swept through the deserted cobblestone streets. The sun shone down on the city causing great monstrous shadows to loom across a large park where the satin tossed about. Few people were out and those that were had long black coats protecting their bodies from the harsh northern wind.
Faint chaotic footsteps were heard from the park. A small figure dressed in rags and a cape of scrapped grey cotton, flew down the street clumsily. He was not more than 10 years old and his face was smudged with dirt. His skin was darker than those around him, the dirt having dyed it
"Mysterious Encounter” by ~Star-mysteress
This short story tells us of a boy,
his imagination, and an old man who hasn’t
forgotten his childhood. It is, in a word,
enchanting.
