Crippled ugly god;

Much grief you gave to all men,

Pandora's maker.

Hey that was Zeus’ idea. Vulcan probably couldn’t turn down the commission. You know how it is being an artist…😜

Molten rivers flow

Searing heat scorches the land

Volcanic nightmares

Confession! I have been an ardent Trekker since the first episode of the original Star Trek series, titled "The Man Trap," aired on September 8, 1966.

So, the word VULCAN has special meaning for me.

__

Vulcan, lost planet

Orbiting near fiery Sun

Swallowed by its heat

-

Hypothetical world, Vulcan

Hiding between stars

Mercury's unseen neighbor

-

Vulcan steel, strong and true

Forged in industry's fires

Engineering's might

-

4-6-4 structure:

Vulcan's hammer

Strikes anvil, shaping metal

Blacksmith's dance

-

2-3-2 structure:

Volcano

Vulcan's rage erupts

Lava flows

-

3-5-3 structure:

Vulcan mind-meld

Thoughts and feelings intertwined

Empathy shared

-

Made-up uses:

Vulcan, a new shade

Fiery red tinged with orange

Fashion's bold hue

-

Vulcan, spicy food

Igniting taste buds with heat

Culinary dare

-

Vulcan, music genre

Explosive beats and molten rhythms

Erupting on stage

-

Vulcan, yoga pose

Balancing on volcanic rocks

Mind and body fused

-

Vulcan, energy drink

Fueling workouts with lava-power

Endurance unleashed

Amazing!! I must say I love how your mind works.

I’ve never seen any Star Trek, but Spock is such an icon. I’m glad he’s made an appearance!

I would absolutely go for some face melting Vulcan metal riffs. Sounds sick!

The first two lines, imagine Carly Simon singing them instead of her famous "Anticipation" song.

“Vulcanization...

...is making me hot and hard…”

Sang the rubber tire.

Flash lash sword-like out

Slice the heated air in two

Halves fall in darkness
