Speculative biology is simultaneously a science and form of art in which one speculates on the possibilities of life and evolution. What could the world look like if dinosaurs had never gone extinct? What could alien lifeforms look like? What kinds of plants and animals might exist in the far future? These questions and more are tackled by speculative biologists, and the Speculative Evolution welcomes all relevant ideas, inquiries, and world-building projects alike. With a member base comprising users from across the world, our community is the largest and longest-running place of gathering for speculative biologists on the web.

While unregistered users are able to browse the forum on a basic level, registering an account provides additional forum access not visible to guests as well as the ability to join in discussions and contribute yourself! Registration is free and instantaneous.

Unstructured, formless, and confusing, I do write poety. Just not that wibbly-wobbly rhymey-whymey stuff. I hate structure, as it doesn't flow. Here's a little poem called Humanity, told from the perspective of quarreling siblings.


Humanity

Ugly!

Beautiful!

Hateful!

Loving!

Greedy!

Generous!

Hellish!

Holy!

He burns scars reaps kills

He soothes heals sows preserves

He steals wars tortures imprisons

He gives discusses comforts frees

He destroys ruins ravages

He creates builds cares

He excludes obstructs

He includes allows

He

He

WE

At the present time, concepts within are inconsistent and ever shifting.

Poetry is the expression of one's thoughts/emotions through words.

There is no rules saying poetry has to rhyme. If so, then we should burn Poe and Shakespeare at the stake.

A world long frozen by icy hate,
The air far too cold for life
Dead bodies and blood hang from their intestines
Cryptic runes carved into their bones

The wind flaps flags made from their skin and hair
Blood drips away
The sow has forever been stained by the red
Death calls out to you, not with the howling roars of the wind

It calls out with the stench of the blood
The putrid scent of the bile
The taste of terror is ever present
Your tongue has dried out

Fear; panic; you flee
The crunching of ice below your feet reaches out to you
It says ‘You next’
You run further into the white expanse and a brief feeling of warmth crawls up your leg

Your ankle has snapped, turning against you and giving you the ‘what’ that comes
You turn to face the monster of the ice land
It is you
It slowly opens the door
You struggle to crawl away, but it encroaches
It gets on the floor, scraping screams of sin
And everybody walks the dinosaur.
