Science Fiction Poetry by Deborah P Kolodji

starburst patterns
under the ice caps
spring on Mars

=====================

ten years in space
the dish garden
in my cabin

=====================

no coat
this December
winter time travel

=====================
the lightest I’ve been
figure skating
on Europa

=====================

the ribbon
on Sir Lancelot’s horse
wind change

lace curtains
in a spaceship window
things we can’t leave

======================

solar winds
a Venusian cloud creature’s
sky nursery

======================

spring theatre
Time Tours, Inc.’s package
to see Shakespeare

======================

no sunglasses ET at Black’s Beach

======================

a world
where we lost the war
knapweed

earth fading
my first Alpha Centauri
grammar lesson

======================

part backlog
for the weather generator
planet of blizzards

======================

night blooming jasmine
psych evals of colonists
bound for Mars

======================

the leak in Noah’s ark
time travel bucket
list
