Time for another selection of the ever popular (and amusing – check out Susan Burch's canine pun in our final 'ku) scifaiku. If you haven't encountered them before, scifaiku are what you get when you add a sci-fi theme to haiku – it's not often that Dyson Spheres are name-checked in poetry!

short circuit
she activates 
the flirting module

splattered sunlight
the jealousy
of clones

...Deborah P Kolodji (Deborah is the former president of the Science Fiction Poetry Association and the California Regional Coordinator for the Haiku Society of America. She's published over 800 haiku.) 


ENCAPSULATED

The Sun is furious,
Spitting flares as it rages.
Dyson Sphere complete.

NEW HORIZONS VISITS PLUTO

I still think of you
Favorite childhood planet.
Photos of you soon.

SIGNAL FROM CERES

Something signals in
Morse code from Ceres. 
It says SOS SO...

THE ANDROMEDA GALAXY

Our closest neighbor,
Yet too far to reach for us.
Keep stock of sugar.

...Christina Sng (Christina is a poet, writer, and occasional toymaker. She lives with her family and their spirited tabby cat just north of the Equator.)


beautiful legs
he walks them home
hoping to meet the rest of her
                                         
dark woods
horrible howling
werewolf going bald

...Guy Belleranti (Guy is a regular contributor to Grievous Angel. He writes poetry, fiction and more. His poetry has appeared in Scifaikuest, Midnight Echo, Trysts of Fate, Spaceports & Spidersilk and the book Anomalous Appetites.)


space pirate –
his robot wears
an aye patch

fetching the bones
of the first colonists –
Mars rover

...Susan Burch (Susan is another regular contributor, who likes to write haiku, senryu, tanka, and sedoka. She has been published in magazines such as Ribbons, Frogpond, Moongarlic, and Bones and enjoys drinking Coca-Cola Slurpees.)
