The Gods playground

The Gods playground

A Poem by Les.
"

It's a short poem(?) I wrote some years back. It'll do as an intro to Harlequin.

"

To surf the swarzchild radius
and frolic in the quantum foam
drive along an accretion disc
and make the singularity our home

We’ll play ‘tag’ across the galaxy
Watch novas from afar
Then rest ourselves watching comets burn
And roast supper on a dying star

Really good poem. The idea is original and the scientific language is an excellent contrast (not to mention lovely to the ear) to the notion of gods. My only suggestion would be to delete a few of the filler words like "and" and "the," especially at the beginning of lines. These really don't serve a purpose. If you're trying to hold a sentence/thought together simply use a comma.

Great write. Short and powerful.
I love the beautiful imagery you have used - it has a dreamy quality. Your use of rhyme is interesting also - it moves the poem along - echoing the movement of the poem - rhyming is something I find difficult to do at times so its nice to read it being done well. I also felt that your use of alliteration is effect, especially in the opening lines.
I really enjoyed reading this poem, it is different from a lot of the stuff I have read on this site.
