h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Jen is this OK, I am lost on this thread stuff have not a clue, no wish to learn either,
If this works I will send the rest, my grandaughter -secretary is absent, so what she would do in five minutes takes me all day.
---------------------

Who am I now, can I be seen?

Is that me, but where have I been?

Yet, where am I going, perhaps there’s new scenes!

The land of dreams was not what it seems.

To try to be real, I must make a deal.

To get it just right, a new mind I must steal.

A flash of light another fright.

As off they rush into the night.

A mocking laugh that lingers still.

For Maxine Carr a bitter pill.

Sky Rune


I wish upon a shooting star, clasped hands,
Within this magic moon of mind, my dreams
Upon imaginary cliffs sift sands,
Where dunes hold secret messages, known themes.

Shaping cryptic semaphores, smoke symbols,
Express heart shifts in whispers to the sky:
"O Vast Expanse, unheard thoughts do gambol,
Here I, miniscule child of Earth do cry,

I wish that those I love know they are loved,
That those who hurt inside hold peaceful doves,
That those who hate and hold to jealousy,
Will see that hate will never set one free,"

I wish upon a shooting star, clasped hands,
Within this magic moon of mind, my dreams,
A shooting star streaks sky from cloud to sea,
Its tail a rune of secret signs for thee.

Hi H,

I already have this piece from Annie - so thanks.

Plus, as to your own piece above - it is sort of fitting bar the line 'For Maxine Carr a bitter pill', as this Tribute Anthology is to mark a celebration/commemoration of GW and how people felt, so the works need to stir from that theme.

I have kept a copy of your poem above but wondered if maybe you might alter that line or possibly submit something else. The absolute latest by 6pm Sunday, and if you could post it on this thread it would be most appreciated.

Will be leaving a longer post with you on another thread with other details.

Thanks,

Jen

Thanks Jen, leave it you,

Cheers H.
