Answers to Quiz 8

Skyscrapers may erode
become animal bones
brittle splintglittering towers
stretching miles into the troposphere.
Raging overhead, the Vanguard I
(with solar batteries) moves
in an elliptical orbit, a small body
that emits its own light:
this is called sublimation
in places where entire mountain chains
exist in a straight line, the line of low
level of high tide, red on port
and greening starboard.

Thanks Bill...I've done a bit of that, too, and will again I'm sure.
Love: 'splintglittering towers' and, the whole thing. *
Thanks for this cool poem replete with hot images. Also thanks for directing me to Brian Turner (his name glows rocket-butt-like in your list of favorite books and writers). He was unknown to me before tonight, I have now dug him reading from HERE, BULLET and PHANTON NOISE on youtube -- what a treat! So thanks for a sparkling poem and for expanding my horizons with the Turner tip. Two poignant reasons for why I so much enjoy cruising Fictionaut. Hats off for your beautifying the electronscape!
