Yes, please. 
I would love to see a sci-fi thread or, if there is enough interest, a speculative poetry forum dedicated to exploring the themes of things like LOTR, space travel, time travel, fairy tales, video games, superhero/comic book, D&D etc. Right? 
. Anyway, yes, please write sci-fi poetry! As for examples that already exist within science fiction, other than LOTR, there are the Vogon poems in Hitchhiker’s Guide (though at the moment I can’t remember if there are actual poems or if it is just described), also “Hero of Canton, the Ballad of Jayne Cobb” in Firefly, several poems at various moments in Doctor Who like “The Beast Below,” “Demons run,” etc. and I’m sure there are many more. There are the older classics, things like Rossettie’s “Goblin Market.” We could have one thread where people can share science fiction/ speculative poems they have written, and another to share poems already written about, or found within, science fiction. Or we could have sci-fi month the way everything else seems to get its own month and all the prompts can be sci-fi related (perhaps May because it contains May 4th, or March because of pi day). Or any or all, whatever y’all want.
