In my 1st novel, the main character's mother dies before the story begins. I'm playing with the idea of sharing some of her (the mother's) loose-form haikus written on their journey from Terra to Mira. Or perhaps simply stanzas of verse, whether presented separately or together. What do you think?
Ice creeps
Over the island
Aloha, pua aloalo
Choose
Live love leave
A new heart beats
Rockets roar
Engines rumble
Stars stream past
Ocean song
Silent now
My heart still sings
Empty space

Very nice - beautiful imagery. Haiku is hard! Forced meter in general has never been easy for me. Good job!
DeleteI like them! There's an awful lot of story there, in those few words.
