I’m having an impromptu contest! Write me a Valentine’s Day poem about zombies and/or failing space stations, and you’ll be entered to win an e-book copy (format of your choice) of anything I’ve written.  Tag me on twitter – @reesah, or leave it in a comment here. I will post all poems here, with credit (let me know if you want credit as something other than your twitter username).  Winner will be chosen in a completely un-random way, based on which poem I like best, on Feb. 15th, 2014.

Here are some romantic verses to inspire you:

Roses are red;

Space is black;

Our universal domination plans;

Have gotten a bit off-track.

Zombies love eating;

but I’m fond of you;

so blow out that airlock;

and turn them to goo.

by Thomas Burke/@impossibly

I can hear them approaching;

it makes my heart race;

Don’t you dare tell me;

there are no sounds in space.
