Walking ...Tabitha, glad it whet your appetite. :)<br /><br />Walking Man, this opening was tough to balance. I wanted an interesting perspective, but it still needed to be anchored in action.<br /><br />Shadow, more parts are on the way!<br /><br />Szelsofa, I haven't read much sci-fi, so I'm probably not doing it "right." ;) It will be C.O.N. style.<br /><br />Aniket, I suspect you're right about that.<br /><br />Bernita, thank you!<br /><br />Nevine, very gratifying, thanks. :) I don't do much sci-fi, but I do love science. I should probably embrace it more. I suspect I'll never be a straight genre writer, though.<br /><br />Leah, I'm looking forward to letting you experience this world.<br /><br />Kaye, goosebumps are cool. :) Regarding my poem, thanks for the observations and thoughts! In retrospect, I don't think I was a sacrifice, but I was an unwitting wish for healing. But a child can never heal parents whose own childhoods were damaged. It only robs the child of security. I always prided myself in assuming adult roles so young, but it left a piece of me confused and susceptible to anxiety. To meet me, you'd never see it, though. It works in the background.<br /><br />Karen, SEED is actually an acronym. ;) Not that it's vital to story....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15498010.post-47109117320239342212010-02-15T21:17:06.161-05:002010-02-15T21:17:06.161-05:00This is great voice for sci-fi.

Wanted to say about "Look" that is is such a revealing poem. I know how cathartic your poems can be for you. You seem to be working through so much. I think you are coming into the understanding that you are not responsible for what you thought or believed as a child, but rather you were led to think that way.<br /><br />wobbling on a tiny iceberg<br />baited and switched<br />picked free by your needs<br />on an icy sea<br /><br />Do you see yourself as a sort of sacfifice? Perhaps the dynamic you speak of, lived off of your energy, and left you too weak to be yourself. I don't know.<br /><br />I have such faith in you, Jason. I know you will try and you will succeed.K.Lawson Gilberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11204234196229710524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15498010.post-37868936807066311672010-02-15T13:42:59.973-05:002010-02-15T13:42:59.973-05:00Reminds me of some reading I've done on "...Reminds me of some reading I've done on "star seeds" as well as Stephenie Meyer's "The Host."

So often sci-fi loses its strength when the writer loses his ability to keep that scientific, futuristic voice in the writing, if that is what the piece calls for. I think this piece does call for that, and it works perfectly.<br /><br />Looking forward to part 2.<br /><br />NevineNevine Sultanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08794887684860140819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15498010.post-73330689556392146352010-02-15T10:10:16.952-05:002010-02-15T10:10:16.952-05:00This is good.This is good.Bernitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05264585685253812090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15498010.post-44723813252597494322010-02-15T08:48:24.461-05:002010-02-15T08:48:24.461-05:00Now that's a start.
