Where do ideas for fantasy poems come from? Everywhere you look has an idea for a fantasy poem if you let your imagination wander over the possibilities and impossibilities. For example, I wrote the following poem when I was living in a house with a tree in the front yard.
At dawn in late winter and early spring,
she stands outside my living room window watching me,
her eyes and mouth knots in the stone pine tree.
Her high forehead denotes intelligence,
the tree limbs, her arms, are raised to embrace
the morning light
or wave in the dawn wind.
She smiles,
she speaks,
her voice the wind whispering
through green pine needles.
An Ent-wife lives in my front yard,
bound in the city soil
waiting for an army of Ents
to come marching
down the black asphalt avenue
to free her.
Look out your window, take a walk around the block, or observe the interactions of human beings with technology; let your imagination look at those observations, and see what you come up with. Write a poem about what you saw, but place it in a different setting. Answer the questions who, what, when, where, why, and how from the point of view of a mythological character or an alien from a different part of the universe.
Challenge: Write a fantasy or science fiction poem about something you observe. Submit it to this newsletter by May 10, 2018. I will place anything with an 18+ or below rating in the newsletter. The my favorite will receive an awardicon.

Excerpt: Zalmeo volunteered for the position.
The first decision already confused.
Male or female? How to decide?
Couldn't this body be both?
Excerpt: A new world born
home for a new species
Excerpt: Panoramic cities at the stroke of noon
Ominous clouds darkening the horizon
No one sure of what to think, as
Many stare to the heavens in fear.
Excerpt: Come out little children
Come play with me
In a world where there
is so much to see
And magic brings life
to all things
Excerpt: There once was a tiger named Kitten.
On one paw he wore a red mitten.

brom21  writes: I think we have all heard of the “Planets coming into alignment where something is supposed to happen.” Perhaps a magic portal open up or something is a good way to use the changes of the season. One thing that comes to mind is the first book of the Chronicles of Narnia where it is always cold year round from the curse of the white witch. Thanks for the suggestion!
