Sci-Faiku

You know what a haiku is, everyone’s favorite poem behind a limerick because they are short and make you think or feel, and bonus points for making you laugh. They follow the 5-7-5 syllable scheme.

Of course you know what sci-fi is, science fiction, that place between science and completely made up but plausible fantasy worlds.

When you squish those two together, you get Scifaiku. Haiku of Science Fiction. Ah HA!

Here are some we have penned.

Zoom before big boom
Hyperspeed enemy drones
Meet our hot lasers

verge of galaxy
starships align, point at Earth
Is it worth the risk?

Distraught, alone, girl
Breathes in dust, ashes, and hope
Charges through rubble#SciFiFri #destroy

science fiction may
battle aliens, forge guns
raise eggs to larva

Jade lightning, gray sky
Clouds of dust unbreatheable
Robots do not mind

Forget the dragons
Flown into the empty void
Heroes return weak

No one to fight off
Fat, lazy braggarts shine armor
Dreaming of starships
