Welcome to our Scifaiku Special and our collection of Science Fiction, Urban Fantasy and ever-so slightly Nerdishly Techie themed haiku. Because we have multiple authors, we're running the poetry first and the bios following afterwards. Enjoy!


The Scifaikiu

muggled day
forgotten
spells

zombies
every morning
before Starbucks

zero bars
alone again
technically

...N.E. Taylor 


Saturn’s rings…
leftovers from a game
of alien hoop-la

the shuttle to Mars
is late due to aliens
on the line again

...Tracy Davidson
 

terrible twos
alien child screaming
from both heads


...Guy Belleranti


hell-bent 
on talking to you -
Ouija board

Comicon –
every Darth Vader
says he’s my father

...Susan Burch


purple sunset
the terraformer
adjusts the beach

...Joshua Gage




The Poets

N.E. Taylor is a long-time member of the Science Fiction Poetry Association. She has done readings and panels at Loscon and Condor in California. One of her proudest moments, recently, was having a zombie poem nominated for a Pushcart Prize (not a winner, sigh.) Her work has appeared in a variety of publications, including Postcard Poems and Prose, Strange Horizons, Star*Line, Tales of the Talisman, Illumen, Astropoetica, and Dwarf Stars. Her short form work has been recognized by Dwarf Stars, and in 2013, she won the Haiku North America Conference Prize. Ms. Taylor lives in Los Angeles.


Tracy Davidson lives in the UK, and enjoys writing poetry and flash fiction. Her work has appeared in various publications and anthologies. 


Guy Belleranti writes poetry, fiction and more. His poetry has appeared in Scifaikuest, Midnight Echo, Trysts of Fate, Spaceports & Spidersilk and the book Anomalous Appetites.


Susan Burch likes to write haiku, senryu, tanka, kyoka, and sedoka. She has been published in magazines such as A Hundred Gourds, Ribbons, Frogpond, Moongarlic, and Bones and enjoys drinking Coca-Cola Slurpees.


Joshua Gage describes himself as an ornery curmudgeon from Cleveland. His first full-length collection breaths is available from VanZeno Press. Intrinsic Night, a collaborative project he wrote with J. E. Stanley, was published by Sam’s Dot Publishing. His most recent collection Inhuman: Haiku from the Zombie Apocalypse is available on Poet’s Haven Press. He is a graduate of the Low Residency MFA Program in Creative Writing at Naropa University. He stomps around Cleveland in a purple bathrobe where he hosts the monthly Deep Cleveland Poetry hour and enjoys the beer at Brew Kettle.
