dannymcg pays tribute to a fellow artist in poetic form

Note this, my brothers!
I'm now in the same class as Sir Elton, my fellow artist

 

[scarpelius]

I'm in, after struggling for 2 days to find a title. Couldn't afford a muse :S

 

[Karn's Return]

Victoria...the fact you put it as sci fi only is putting a real kink in my think. :| I might have something, but...

 

[scarpelius]

@Cathbad Don't be sad, is not like I am starving, but in my corner of the world, muses are... how to say this... pricey.
I had to treat the last one with Gucci, Channel, original Levi's (this I did not understand it: how come a ripped worker jeans, with cuts all over could cost so much and be presented as fashion?). When I dared to offer a Tiffany it went straight on my head with the acid remarks that Tiffany is for hillbillies. One week I've dreamed only corn and made jokes about manure, so yeah I would not do the same mistake twice.

Thank you for the reviews Victoria and Parson

 

[Parson]

@J.C. Scoberg .... In Space, No One Can Hear You Sketch .... In the marriage of the arts and Science Fiction J.C. reminds us that P.T. Barnum was right, "There's a sucker born every second."

@Victoria Silverwolf .... Son Et Lumière .... In the marriage of the arts and Science Fiction Victoria illumines a time when sound and light re-purpose tragedy and create triumph.

@Calliopenjo .... Frustration of the Arts .... In the marriage of the arts and Science Fiction Calli points us to the far future so that we can share a very common pain.

@scarpelius .... It ain't just engineering .... In the marriage of the arts and Science Fiction Scarpe reintroduces the concept that sometimes a mistake is anything but a mistake.

@Karn's Return .... Celestial Sculpting .... In the marriage of the arts and Science Fiction Karn does an homage to a literal intelligent design theory whose whole purpose was beauty.

 

[Victoria Silverwolf]

Calliopenjo conveys the agony of being unable to live up to one's ambitions.

scarpelius considers the implications of having creative power.

Karn's Return imagines the origins of everything we know.

 

[Karn's Return]

I still believe it would have been better fit under fantasy, as certain religious style themes tend to fit that genre more than sci fi, but I suppose it's a sort of nod to Hitchiker's Guide in a way.

 

[J.C. Scoberg]

Thank you for the review @Parson

dgackst casts a witty, sidelong glance at how the superficial often takes precedence over the practical.

 

[M. Robert Gibson]

It looks like I'm not the only one who sits there for days waiting for Melete or Mneme or Aoide or Thalia or Urania or Melpomene or Polyhymnia or Erato or Calliope or Clio or Euterpe or Terpsichore or Nete or Mese or Hypate to show up, convinced I have been forsaken, thinking I might have to give this month a miss, when BAM! a seed of a thought emerges at 3 o'clock in the morning. Thank heavens for notepads and pencils.

 

[Victoria Silverwolf]

M. Robert Gibson smiles at the idea that there can be any accounting for taste.

 

[Starbeast]

I'm in. A spinach/mushroom pizza helped the muse to enlighten me.

 

[Victoria Silverwolf]

Starbeast plays with the notion that gentle skills might be of use to the military mind.

Spoiler alert!
I had the list bookmarked to be used in playroom "What's the Connection?" next time I was the question setter.
I'll have to think of something else now
