Long Scifi Poems

The Pods - Chilling Scifi Poetry

Fear, you are weightier than gravity
in pulling the stomach to the ground.

Rotors slowed and sound waned 
as the helicopter sided, meeting the concrete
in a road ripping, heart stopping flame.
A distant...

His first moment was a strange one,
he senses told him not a thing,
but he knew words and he knew thoughts,
oh, so many thoughts were spinning.

Then somehow he heard a voice speak,
knew that it was a...

“But we realized, decades on back,
how consciousness burns out machines,
we are not gods when we create,
there are hard limits to our dreams.

“And the same questions you have asked,
why create what must quickly die,
haunted humans for...

He reigned down through the centuries,
and every human knew his name,
Emperor Guiscard the Deathless,
from Quebec this great figure came.

Arising in chaotic times
in the twenty-first century,
when cultures were falling apart
as we grew our technology.

When the whole...

...He laughed at memes, he watched podcasts,
rolled digital eyes at the news,
saw endless reams of adult stuff,
why they liked it, he never knew…

But in this searching he came on
a fact he’d never realized:
A.I.s lasted just...

I will tell the tale of what happened then,
how ruin came upon this world of men,
what we did to fight it, and how that worked,
what we can do now to escape this hurt.

There’s not many...

It was raining like a banshee, or so Grandpa Troll did say.
But Dragon wanted it gone, until after school started one day.
Yes, we needed the rain, for it was dry as dry can surely be.
But...

Like the author my name is David Welch,
I write this poem as a warning to you
from a universe that was like your own,
so identical that it would confuse.

An infinite number of realities,
yes, the multiverse really...

Maybe you have got to thinking
I probably should read more books,
but there’s just so much crap out there,
is anything really worth a look?
Is there anything worth my time,
something that will not disappoint,
something that strives to...

Dear people,
Grant it be a solid marble, marble, a slate or granite marble, it is still a stony marvel of a marble.

...But now that the truth of all was revealed,
and no future was awaiting our kind,
I looked on my life’s work, now meaningless,
and a notion entered into my mind.

If creation was a pantry for them,
if our...

...Even those who see ‘the future,’
will see it in past terms,
since the past is the reference from
which all mankind must learn.
That grand, utopian future
of which so many dream,
is defined by what it escapes:
a past brutal...

The Q Man
The Q Man was somebody who was different
He travelled the galaxies and universe doing a job
Flying a Type 6 spaceship interstellar style
Normal space travel took forever and a day
But his ship was a...

“I’m sure it’s hard to get used to,
but it’s the only way you’d survive,”
Cy explained, and said, “Unlike me
at least you’ll have plenty of guides.

“See, I was the first that they tried
to transfer over to...

There’s nothing new under the sun,
It’s all been done, it’s all been done.

--I’ll make a sword also a gun!
The eighties called, it’s all been done.

--A film with car crashes for fun!
Won an Oscar, it’s all...

I'M JUST GETTING STARTED
The concrete post is a lazy old thing.
Just sitting there doing nothing at all.
When things happened it was quiet.
The illegal President drove smugly past.
The war erupted and death swept the land.
A natural...

If there are humans on earth some years 
in the future
They'll notice the sun has turned into a fiery 
red creature
The sun is on a mission to eat the earth
In days to come sun will...

Breathing in the luminous vapor that tastes like vanilla
While looking at illuminating our neon skyline
Since the moon and stars are veiled with the aluminium ceilings
Pastel rain that tastes of iron drips down from the blank...

sometimes 
misconstrued
in a fluorescent grove
where malachite petals
marry emerald blades
verbose biting chews 
too close to the cheek
among a confetti of bees
amid undulating bumps 
of raw superfluous air

interdimensional entities 
of spectral occurrence
wave with graphic-less suave
to gurgles, to...

“F”, we’ll call him Felipe
Felipe found a doorway
he didn’t mean to
he wasn’t looking for it
and at first he wasn’t aware

shades of familiarity
were centred off-centre
ripples among ripples
enticingly chiselled 
casting...

See the plastic friends float down the river
Bits of flotsam and jetsam in the damn way
Of fresh flowing clear water polluting it
By their rancid presence what they do
You do not do the same to them
For...

Gothic Black
What will tomorrow be like?
We have to get thru today first
Then we can see what it’ll be like
The same old crap or different?
A perfect utopia of happiness
Or a black ash filled world
We will see...
