Viv Wigley Poet Diminished Hexaverse

2001 a Space Odyssey

Sunrise on Mankind
lights raw survival
dawn brings the unknown
fear, intelligence
first tools and first fire.

Steps on the moon
but not alone
the ancient form
exposed, now calls

Mission on
under threat
Hal must kill

rebirth
star child

one

Duke Beaufort January 17, 2016 at 12:17 PM Hmm. Yes, I had just watched it again thru streaming. The part with the apes to the beginning of something new. A very apt description of the film have you made. Impressive indeed, sir! I am always struck by your words.

Elaine George January 11, 2016 at 9:37 AM Wonderful take on the movie. I can still hear Hal's voice. Viv Wigley January 11, 2016 at 11:19 PM Yes Elaine, Hal's voice was made more menacing by it's very gentleness. Thanks for calling by. Viv x

Kp Nunez January 8, 2016 at 6:19 AM Hi Viv. Haven't seen the movie but the interesting and intelligent way you presented the movie with this one amde me curious. A 7 just for the write. PS. Your reply to S1 made me chuckle! :-) hugs Viv Wigley January 11, 2016 at 11:18 PM It's a very deep film, Kim, and groundbreaking. For something made in 1968 it is still well ahead of it's time. A Sci-fi classic. Thanks for popping by. Viv x

Andrea Dietrich January 6, 2016 at 7:40 PM oh my, I never liked that movie, but you did a GREAT job coming up with a poem for it. Wait till you see what I chose to do. I have too many favorites so I chose my favorite from last two weeks. haha. This was sure a fun contest! Viv Wigley January 6, 2016 at 11:20 PM Thanks, Andrea. I look forward to yours,as long as it isn't 'The Texas chainsaw massacre'. Not a fan of the gory stuff. 'Finding Nemo', maybe? Viv x

Tim Smith January 6, 2016 at 1:07 PM A great movie and poem Viv. Good luck in the contest. Viv Wigley January 6, 2016 at 11:23 PM Thanks, Tim. I still vivdly remember going to see it back in 1968 at a local cinema that had the super-wide screen and an awesome sound system, it was the only one of it's kind for miles. Perfect for the film. Oh, and a licensed bar- I had half a schooner of sherry. Regards, Viv
