Greenfaced Martian Cop Sci-Fi Tanka

the Martian cop
throws cluster f-bombs ...
greenfaced, he shouts
nothing more provocative
than a human in uniform

A Sci-Fi Senryu

immortal through cloning…
he wonders what to do
on a Sunday


Japanese Translation by Hidenori Hiruta

クローンにより不死身...
彼は何をすべきかと思う
ある日曜日

Spring Haiku

first day of spring...
reading Milan Kundera
while mid-air


World Kigo Database (Milan Kundera)

Note: This poem is my FIRST Sci-Fi haiku, alluding to Milan Kundera's most famous philosophical novel entitled The Unbearable Lightness of Being. The book is about "two men, two women, a dog and their lives in the Prague Spring of the Czechoslovak Communist period in 1968."
