Poetry Fishbowl Open!

[ysabetwordsmith]

Starting now, the Poetry Fishbowl is open!  Today's theme is "hard science fiction." I will be checking this page periodically throughout the day. When people make suggestions, I'll pick some and weave them together into a poem ... and then another ... and so on. I'm hoping to get a lot of ideas and a lot of poems.

A woman with a bionic arm struggles with leaving her husband for a combat veteran with bionic legs when they meet at the research facility and their neuro-programs briefly connect.

Welcome to the fishbowl!

I really had fun with this plot, despite the tragic aspects. The result is "A Spark of Love," a free-verse poem about falling out of and into love, and how technology can change us in ways we don't anticipate.

Since you are a new prompter, there is a second freebie poem today. I have just posted "A Girl's Best Friend."

Poem

Still mulling over the idea of bionics, I wrote another poem. "Hand Over Hand" is a free-verse poem about an astronaut who loses his arms and legs in an accident ... and decides that he wants something unusual in the way of prosthetics.
