When I was in my last two years at Uvic a group of friends and I called ourelves "The Vortex
Collective" and frequently met between classes to discuss literature, exchange poetry, and talk abot Star
Trek.
Click on the following links to see poems inspired by this group!
The following poem is a poorly rhymed parody of "Star Trek: The Next Generation". Not a single character
goes unbashed!
One year I had several pet goldfish who died in bizarre manners - two committed suicide - jumped out of the tank
and went SPLAT! The following poem is dedicated to them.
On one stressful day at UVic I observed the ducks swimming in the fountain and got jealous. The following poem
resulted.
This poem is inspired by Star Trek's Q - who was definitely the coolest character on the show until Voyager wrecked
him. It is an excersise in rhymed chaos and a parody of the English language.
More poems inspired by Q. This series parodies the Canadian poet B.P. Nichol.
Here's my signature poem. It pays tribute to two great literary figures - Shakespeare and Dr. Seuss.
Here's a little doodle I did - a Trek parody to close "The Vortex Collection"
