The exercise:

Write a four line poem about something that is: steady.

Mine:

Buddy paused in its work, stashed the cocktails and
Brought its guns to the ready.
Scanning the courtyard, it found its first target
And its aim was rock steady.

  1. Haha, the image of Buddy putting the cocktails away first before targeting enemies is rather nice, and tells us something about the Master too, I think. I am curious about what is being aimed at though!

    Steady
    The Robot calculates precisely where
    Its enemies will start their next attack.
    A steady barrage, missiles scream across
    the sky, and naturally some men do die.

  2. Greg - that will be revealed soon enough.

    Well, it's already been revealed. Bonus of being so far behind on comments.

    '... and naturally some men do die.' is a great line. Things are getting real in the Unreal City.
