Original DDE™ surrealistic art: “Sky Fire” by: rob kistner © 10/17/23
Here quietly on the shore
we await another end of day
looking skyward to the heavens
we anticipate the brilliant fire
GunnMaster does not disappoint
it’s his magical sunset display
our clear signal from on high
that for another night — we retire
we know his Sunset Gunn is loaded
the controls are in his grip
he’s calmly concentrating
scanning with careful eyes
golden sun has made his journey
he’s quite weary from the trip
quicksilver moon will soon
traverse our starry skies

our Gaia rolls on gently
hushed deep in quiet space
GunnMaster has our skyline
locked squarely in his sight
Gaia’s pulling a veil of stars
slowly across our face
but GunnMaster has this task
to complete before it’s night

he’s to set our sky ablaze
before he then falls to sleep
we anticipate fiery coral-orange
periwinkle and crimson red
we love patterns broad and bold
in vivid colors rich and deep
so he aims the SunsetGunn
and blasts it overhead
in a brilliant blinding flash
he sets the skies a’fire
in vivid hues, and lavish shades
the dusk sky ignites and burns
GunnMaster has succeeded
we can happily retire
the Sunrise Gunn’s already loaded
for morning when he returns

I found your sci-fi imagination most interesting! Well done Rob.
Thank you Dwight. I have edited it twice more since you read. For me poetry is never finished… 😉
A life in constant sunset (your Gunnmaster makes me think of Elon Musk) until the power we goes out and we are left in an eternal night.
If one chooses to be a marksman. One need be an effective marksman or the enrire undertaking will falter and fail. One also must understand their target, the nature ans appropriateness.
Amazing story poetry, Rob. There is nothing like a glorious sunset. You have captured the journey from sunrise to sunset. I have seen beauty in both when creator takes control. I saw a beautiful display of pastels the other night. It was calming. I was in a Target parking lot and took my phone out to grab a snapshot. A couple of people asked me what I was doing. I said capturing a moment of glorious sky. They just looked and walked by. I guess its about perspectives.
True, some will never understand, while others will glory in it. One thing I have learned through observation, if others can see and feel your genuine enthusiasm, they will support your zeal, and find some measure of joy in it. Enthusiasm begets enthusiasm… 🙂 I bet it was an amazing sky my friend! 😉
I do agree with you but, even with my enthusiasm over the sky, these people seemed unmoved.
I mean, some people — 😐
Okay….I want to see a movie starring GunnMaster! 🙂
Well Lil, I am waiting to hear from Lucas or Speilberg… 😉
Haha Me too!
Well i have not heard back from Spielberg or Lucas True — maybe I’ll try Cameron… 🙂
sunset is my favourite part of the day after a hectic day. great poem
Thank you Rog… 🙂
This is gorgeously rendered, Rob! There is a wonderful cinematic feel to this poem 😀
Thank you Sanaa… 🙂
Rob I love those digital images, so crisp and vibrant. This could be turned into a graphic novel.
I love creating them and always imagined that any book of literature I might someday publish would includemy digital art. My son and I first stated making digital art in the late 1990’s, though what I create now is much more complex and realistically. detailed because the digital tools are far more sophisticated — but I still love my work from 25 years ago.
