This week is Spec Fic blogging week, organised by the Speculative Fiction Writers of New Zealand.   Here then, is a science fiction poem I wrote:

lovesnog in blue

I love the cool smoothness
of your tentacles
your triple eyes of Terran blue

let me fondle your mandibles
palpate your maxillae
under the idling moons

through the singing times
through the trembling times
through the wildwinterstorm times

I will love you with
my strobilating polyps
my many radulae of Terran blue
