121921d

everything we've lost
in the move
lifts from my shoulders

032221d

 

we had traveled far

our friendly

moon was just a speck

121620c

 

on the edge of town

another

city limit looms

112820c

 

 loping the crater 

full-face Earth 

in the lunar sky

102220c

 

almost every beast

is long gone

the moon still shines down

 

 

101820d

 

My lune poem is up at haikuuniverse.com today. Please check it out!

I'm your satellite
you're so close
I can raise your seas

090620b

 

kid mooned my mother

what you think

I was gonna do?

 

051820d

The Umbrella Academy


untrained psionics
crashed the moon
biosphere burns off


joke's on
third-planet sapients
microbes don't care

051520d

somebody said, look
moon so big
that's when it started
to heat up
time to say "goodbye"




 a modified lune

050920

A look at Jovian astronomy as a scifaiku:

Europa’s

been slapped around a bit

she can’t leave her Da



Or does it work better as a lune?

Europa’s been slapped

too often

Jupiter’s handprints



Maybe a fib:

 

look

at

her face

Jupiter’s

worked her over good

but still Europa doesn’t leave

040720d

when the biosphere
stabilized
few chordates remained

040120c

we cannot get out
not one moon
shines into this hole

032920d

chrome and steel bumper
car moons shrink
shiny tourist traps

031920

bright clouds draw aside
shine on, you
more than we deserve

031220b

rising in the west
three new moons
with the glint of steel

122919c

Perelandra's moons
whiz inside
shadows on the hills

102019b

Phobos loves Deimos
they're so close
but forever far

101719b

ISS raises
my hackles
when I'm down on Earth

suddenly I need a shave
it's small but Luna's farther

I thought it wouldn't
happen here
sorry 'bout the crew

092519c

at this distance, Moon's
funny face
invites our laughter

up close, it's hot dust
and cold rocks
nothing ever moves

we space invaders
kick up dust
but we don't stay long

now we know water
ice is there
we'll soon be looking

like the boll weevil
for a home
having spoiled this one
