SciFaiku Poetry

Our invitation light shines
Find your way
Bring something to share, all our meals are potluck

By Harvest moon light
Multi-armed robot farmers pluck
Nanoprobes infested with corn genes

dying landers tweet goodbye
ancient orbital AI friends
remove table entry

through fire's fog
a red moon rises
all look up and tremble
   

long behind the quicksilver storm...

tap topple tink
after-rain teardrops flash
leaf to leaf to floor
   

falling star
longing wrathful scar
pieces of me
   

on blackhole's edge
   indecision
         drifts me in
   

my last cable 
pulled
dreams fade
   

we passed in hyperspace
       no time
      to notice
   

more than a planet
does teraforming
form
   

in the mirror a trooper fires
         good shot!
i crumple oddly to the floor
   

peeling an orange in zero-g
       reminds me of
          a galaxy
   

skipping on the moon
giant Paul Bunyan steps
recess ends too soon!
   

guided by unhuman hands
comets strike
first cell divides
   

hand in tentacle
side by side
still breathing hard
   

she screamed inside
through a circle
he transported away
   

her world black & white
my world rainbows
kitchen remains undone
   

speeding slowly
adam & eve suspended
new world awaits
   

purple moonlight; lush black grass
docile locals
vacation planet secured
   

team venus takes gold
edging team libertopia by 2 parsecs
400th olympiad's trans milkyway yacht sprint
   

united planets reception
live talkalaka
puked realtime
   

buddha nature
aliens worship
twinkle little star
   

22 digits play
sounds unearthly
double high moon
   

god wanted
galactic core area
no experience necessary
   

removed 2 planets
for the view
it's ok, we'll plant more
   

star stepping 
   war explore wander
      lost
   

lone human
200 sleep years distant
writing to the dead
   

light races
until hit
revelation
   

philosphers stone found
gold created
spirit untransformed
   

dreaming earth's end
fire ice wind rain
billions served
   

stilleto driven deep
clones brawl
new king crowned
   

wind weaves leaves
pushes rain
jays scream warning
   

rebel sentenced
gas released
our daughter avoids my eyes
   

as above so below
   starry nights
city lights
   

my name is galactic core
my children run away
never to return
   

young spring morning
  sun arises bronze over new grass
puppy runs floppy drinking dew
   

plague ship hijacked by slavers
in chains i write scifaiku
posting to the past 
   

silence bounces
particle to particle
never falling
   

the reign of homo politico has begun

what was past became   spin
what was future became   hype
what was team became        pack
what was talk became              tactics
what was private became           spectacle
what was green became                 burned black
what was god became                       winning
what was individual became               sold

the reign of homo politico has begun
   

i'm rubber
you're glue
ain't evolution weird?
   

spaceship invented
on course for proxima centauri
she does not hope of arriving
   

we seek the grail
god...give us a sign!
helm, lay in course
   

tyro, you think you've known
the pleasures of pearl
the hardness of bone
the coldness of stone

adept, your next crossing
in labyrinth deep
turns the wheel
   

planting my summer garden:
climbing roses in my legs
in my head...daisies
   

Murder

?

capsule on reentry
flickering match
doused

 shoshone pictographs on mars
   

 he lives
 technology's grace
 god unnecessary
   

center people
universe revolves around
morally, physically, racially
   

center people
avoid mirrors
seeing other's sins 
   

space dock empty
together forever
you promissed
   

80% chance death
15% chance life
just numbers
   

don't know why
atom by atom
everything is made to be broken
   

my flowers deepened this season 
    crimson and platinum
                come with age
   

hallucination
mind vibration
collapsing wavessssss
   

future farms

fierce equipment
newest indentured model
torn flesh
   

yellow sky at night
where the hell am i?
   

we walked the yellow brick road
entering emerald city
he invited us to tea
   

new moon
   clouds part
      shooting stars in rain puddles
   

god's swords
  strike!
earth's shield
   

Announce: Year 2137 Nobel Prize Winner for Poetry

war IS war
IS NOT war: love business sport politics
like blood IS NOT wine


This years Nobel Prize winner captures the zeitgeist of our  
times. In a year observing the waning of destructive decades
of war and the final proof our human intelligence is ultimately
metaphorical, this poem reminds us that how we think
and how we act, are one.
