Spock smiles beneath turtleneck.
Silver gleams from eyes.

The Corbomite Manuever

After the midget bluff,
Chromatic trademark monster
Revealed in the end.

Mudd's Women

Mischef loosens belt.
The drug's crystal mystery
Grasps the Venus knee.

The Enemy Within

Cerebus must die.
Scarlet rape, the whiskey burns.
Violence unites.

The Man Trap

Mottled bloody face;
Pity the doppelganger...
Buffalo Murder.

The Naked Time

Itchy palms speak tomes
While Richelieu stalks the halls.
Why does logic weep?

Charley X

Well-punished laughter,
Token of a child's longing:
Beehive disappoints.

Balance of Terror

Romans know no peace.
Wedding passions cool early
But fire marries men.

What are Little Girls Made of?

Red fall sounds the depths
As golems and men make war
In ancient ruins.

Dagger of the Mind

This new punishment
With doves and pastel lighting
Strangely, creates love.

Miri

Grub-like pustules
Late erased with breaking glass,
The Only grow old.

The Conscience of the King

The False alarm, and yet
Such providence in the fall;
Rough-hewn tragedy.

The Galileo Seven

In the giant's land,
What is higher than logic?
A flare restores hope.

Court Martial

Logic hides its aims;
Queen's gambit holds greater goal.
Cloaked humanity.

The Menagerie

Ugly shows a new face,
Or is this an illusion?
Back to turtlenecks.

What deception this?
Grind no bones to make no bread...
The Mongol of Youth.

Shore Leave

Gather ye rosebuds:
While Stukas strafe and men brawl
A maid finds her weeds.

The Squire of Gothos

Child of history,
Of histrionics perhaps
And gothic dangers.

Arena

Leopard Loined Lizard:
He's got balls but not a gun...
Quick whiff of sulfur.

The Alternative Factor

Brief nonexistence.
A positronic Van Dyke,
Two scruffy faces.

Tomorrow is Yesterday

Singular impact.
The sons of the first flyers
Require his return.

The Return of the Archons

The rebels return
From the future. Gothic cloaks
And red rebellion.

A Taste of Armageddon

Why rescue lemmings
When, with a slight suggestion,
They show you the abyss.

Space Seed

Crawl on hands and knees.
Face the sleepers from the past.
Genesis shall come.

The Trouble with Tribbles

A sacred duty
Meets a jolly fat trader.
No tribble at all.

The Gamesters of Triskellion

Pavel meets his master.
Kirk holds green hair in thrall
While he throws the dice.

A Piece of the Action

Phaser through window
Viewed from a stolen flivver.
What prime directive?

Plato's Stepchildren

Psychic's wound festers,
Poetry and dance result.
Kiss in black and white.

Mirror, Mirror

Sulu with a scar,
So Kirk must act the savage
'Til Spock shows the way.

Journey to Babel

Sarek shows his skill
While pigs play among the lords
Spock's blood purifies.

Amok Time

Blood begins to burn
Spock kills Kirk in lusty ire.
A logical choice!

Hides the expectant mother.
A life form now lost.

Though Kirk is just a herbert,
Spock knows how to swing.

Unborn child shall rue
Foreign name and broken land:
Leonard James Akar.

Peaceful men of Zeon weep
As the darkness falls.

Scot's brave fight to the bitter end
Kirk's lips end the fight.

Day of the Dove

Pastel evil lurks
Deadly wounds are struck in vain
And giddy heads prevail.

His wife great with God's own child
Kirk's loss is our gain.

Bread and Circuses

Kirk as Spartacus
A fight at Caesar's palace
Ends in ratings flop.

Operation Annihilate

Pancakes drive us mad.
Needless light robs Spock of sight,
Bad script brings it back.

Who Mourns for Adonis

Lust of lonely Greek
Toga party of the Gods
'Mid silent ruins.

The Cloud Minders

With heads in the clouds,
Dainty lords face poisoned serfs.
Strato gets the shaft.
