Transported across
time and space
Seconds for me
a millennium
for the human race

returned to
a world unknown
a man truly
without a home

Desolate landscape
florescent skies
toxic water
poison air
how do I survive
no sign of mankind

I must be
the last man alive

They walk among us all
Aliens that look just like we do
They have come in peace

In "never hurts to ask" news: poetry presses open to full-length experimental manuscripts with no hefty reading fee? Happy to see as many presses as I am open to subs, but I can't justify spending $30+ per sub. #poetrymanuscript #poetrypress #speculativepoetry #sfpoetry #sciencefictionpoetry

I see #sciencefiction is trending over at the other place.
What about #sciencefictionpoetry?
Yes, science fiction poetry is a thing!
I'm a poet who's written numerous science fiction poems, many of which have been published.
My collection contains various science fiction poems.

Cosmic Journey By Richard H. Fay Meditate upon travel Through the material plane. Leave your mortal self behind As the spirit wanders free. Let your mind's eye uncover The wonders of the cosmos. Surf the savage orange winds Of a churning gas giant. Spy purple methane floaters Feeding in the swift current. Avoid the electric death Of a green ghunglider's sting. Watch a red dwarf slowly rise Over a crimson hued land. See polypods scurry Up a scaly yellow trunk. Drift amongst the tentacles Of a tall vampire tree. 1 of 2 Sail the ethereal tides To Kreona's seething moon. Ride the hot sulphurous spume Of an active volcano. Witness armoured placomorphs As they spawn in the black ooze. Get lost on an icy world. Roam across the frozen plains. Find no trace of warmth or life. Feel what it is truly like To be completely alone, Then leave that sad place behind. Retrace your path through deep space. Return to the Milky Way. Grab onto a comet's tail As it speeds toward the Sun. Soar back down to Mother Earth. Bring your weary spirit home. Originally published September 2007 in The Sword Review 2 of 2 Galactic Road Trip by Richard H. Fay Time and space being relative, One can always burn the former To travel through the latter. Fire up the plasma drive, Pack your environment suit, Tune in an ambient wave, And go for a galactic joy ride! Zip to the Zynterra System. Sip some puguberry wine At the Corrosive Cafe. Watch the blue binary suns set Over the yellow Sulphur Sea. Pay your bill (or not) and take off Before the acid tide surges in. Rocket to Ragobomax. Witness the rainbow ion storm And get an energizing jolt From the glowing electron stream. Visit the robotics chop-shop. Buy a chrome-plated co-pilot And program in the next stop. 1 of 2 Star hop to Hyptaris. See qualumps cross the orange sands And follow the Strill caravans To the celestial bazaar. Make your way to the Darkside Club. Dance the eternal night away, But leave before the end of time. Dive into the nearest wormhole, Slingshot through the fifth dimension, Accelerate faster than light. Break the temporal barrier, Spy the universal secrets, Give your past self a friendly wave, Then sail the solar winds home. (Originally published in Tales of the Talisman, Volume IV Issue 1, Summer 2008.) 2 of 2

If #sciencefiction is trending, then maybe #sciencefictionpoetry should also be trending.

While there was a time a certain science fiction writer called science fiction poetry "silly", it's not invariably so. Some of it may be quite serious.

4 examples from my own catalogue:
Infiltration by Richard H. Fay titanium bones grow synthetic tegument deadly creation human encounter enables social program assimilation government system accesses secret data target acquisition strategic promise precedes political rise android accession artificial man amongst the ruling elite assassination (Originally published in Bewildering Stories, Issue 288, May 2008.) Last Thoughts of a Cosmic Fighter Pilot By Richard H. Fay Shields and thrusters spent; Photon cannon dead. Adrift on the line As saucers break through. Warning sirens blare While fried circuits blow. Smoke blurs reddened sight As I think of you. Recall soft green grass Beneath our bare feet. Hear birds sing sweetly As they welcome spring. Spy your smiling face; Taste your loving lips. Feel heated passion As my ship explodes. (Originally published August 2011 in the webzine Aphelion) Mechanica Major By Richard H. Fay Robotic minds rule human sentiments On this mechanical metallic orb. Satellites skim over the continents; Free thought and true emotions they absorb. Soulless cities cover the cheerless land. Thick black sludge flows in a polluted sea. Titanium decks hide the sandy strand As far as telescopic eyes can see. Mortal automatons march through grim streets Oblivious to their own dismal state. Synthetic pumps replace living heartbeats; The people face a dark and dreary fate. green grass grows upon red Martian earth- alien invader Scifaiku originally published in Aphelion, June 2008.
