This is one I may like to come back and add to at a later date. Today was sort of a just-write-something day. The time got away from me somehow. Anyway, the prompt was to look at a classical dictionary and a sci-fi dictionary and write a poem. I was not particularly inspired by the classical dictionary as it was a pain to read and seemed to consist only of proper nouns of people, places, and festivals. I have done some science fiction reading lately though (most recently Asimov's Foundation and Paolini's To Sleep in a Sea of Stars) and would like to delve more deeply in to that side of this prompt/do it justice at some future elsewhen. Anyway, here's something:
Regular people are not of our ilk, Those who have know only earth-norm, Those who have never grooved to filk Or dodged fire in a meteor storm. Others may read of Hephaestus Preferring a simpler elsewhen, But enforcers would surely arrest us For fiction so exclusively Terran.
