[stylist] A triolet--Space Lyrical

[Barbara Hammel]

The only thing I don't like about this little poem is that, to me, it 
doesn't seem complete.  It feels like there should be a second stanza, if 
you will.

Dear list.

Below is a little triolet I wrote; it's about how science fiction has gotten 
darker over the years as it takes itself more seriously.

Space Lyrical
by Shawn Jacobson

I miss the way the future used to be
before tomorrow grew too hot to stand.
We'd travel all across the galaxy.
I miss the way the future used to be.
The universe would all be ours to see;
the very stars would leap at our command.
I miss the way the future used to be
before tomorrow grew too hot to stand.
