A View of Heaven
by Marty Lewinter
Atheists view death as it really is—the final curtain. In the realization that life does not go on forever lies the potential for heroism. To write a symphony at death's door is the badge of a brave soul in love with life. (Read more...)

Psalm of the Space Cadet
by Joseph C. Maurone
This is one of the first songs I wrote after reading Ayn Rand back in 1996. Before I was the Spaceplayer, I was just another space cadet...The Romantic Manifesto was like a distant supernova in a universe of black holes; Rand believed that the sunlit world she described was dying, and that vision, to me, seemed light years away, almost burned out. But the elements of that star cannot be destroyed, and continue to drift throughout the universe; those elements are available to us should we wish to see the sunlit universe shine again.

Deck of Cards: a Courtesan's Book of Illusions
by Jeanine Ring
Deck of Cards; a Courtesan's Book of Ilusions is my first poem after a five-year hiatus. I am concerned here with the needs and psyche of the artist and literary philosopher in a world which I feel, in this respect, has little changed in too many centuries. Although something of an oversimplification, I can best introduce what follows with a quote from Veronica Franco of Dangerous Beauty: "I regret that there was no other way open to me; I do not regret my life".

"A Is A" Is Not PC
by Luke Setzer
This original poem of humor helped me to achieve the Bronze level of Advanced Toastmaster (ATM-B). Visit http://www.toastmasters.org to learn more about this fine organization. I warn the reader that I may have violated exact rules of meter and rhythm and I had to stretch the meaning of "rhyme" a bit. I occupy myself as an engineer, not a poet. So I expect it to bring you a chuckle, not serve as a model of fine art. (Read more...)
