Iro Loma by Robert G Parent

Iro Loma ( Before Morning )
by Robert G Parent

Hey all, this week I wanted to write a Vulcan poem. It was fun putting it together thanks to my Vulcan Grammer Book. I had to write the poem in English than translate it to Vulcan ( I have a whole new appreciation for translators ). This poem is all about the Long night of the Soul. My biggest challenge was coming up with a word that means what soul means because there is not a vulcan word for soul, so i had to combine two words ( Live Water -- reiya nasha ). I had fun doing this and will do it more often.

Enjoy the poem,
Bob

Dead Like Me by Robert G Parent

"Dead Like Me"
by Robert G Parent

This poem is about a series that I started watching on the Scifi channel. The Poem tells a story about a teen age girl who died and became a reeper. Now you'ld think that this series would be scary, but it is not. It's about some people who died, became reepers, who try and figure out what life is about. They are like in their own Bardo (a place inbetween life and death). Its not a new concept, but an old one that adds more to the mystery of creation. Enjoy the poem.

The Cylon's Dream by Robert G Parent

The Cylon's Dream
by Robert G Parent

I wrote this poem last year before the second season of "Battlestar Galactica". In that show, they left us with an idea that one of the cylons is going to have a baby ( the new cylons look like us and there are many copies ). Well that got me wondering, what if we were to get that advanced in technology that the machines we create will learn and become as us in everyway. What dream would they have if they could dream?
