Star Trek Haiku

Thrumming below us
Warp engines; ships in motion
Light speed and beyond

 

With a trigger pull
Particles disperse; ending
Lives in an instant

 

It's not that I hate
Logic, exactly; but there's
A time and a place

(McCoy to Spock)

 

Bozeman, Montana
Science Ship T'Plana-Hath
This is the Good Stuff

(First Contact)

 

A meeting of minds
Fear, pain, need, longing, knowledge
We both understand

(Vulcan mind meld)

 

I could not kill him;
his spirit was the stronger.
The lava takes me.

(Kruge’s Acknowledgment)

 

The thrum and the hum
The chatter and console sounds
My Enterprise Bridge

 

You wear your heart on
Your sleeve, colloquially;
But logic must rule

(Spock replies to McCoy)

 

Nice!!!

 

I think about stars
At Shift End in my quarters
I am among them

 

One speaks to my heart
The other one to my mind
Truth lies between you

(Kirk's reply to McCoy and Spock)

 

The Past is the Past
But not lost to Us, or Time
Unless we Forget

 

Stardust glimmers bright
Space lies before us, sparkling
Our way becomes clear

 

Strangers we may be
Little in common, it seems
May time prove us wrong

 

In another life
Wretched, grasping, sinister
Thus but for God's grace

(Contemplating the mirror universe)

 

But this universe
Is also unforgiving
Yet still we reach out

 

The stars can swallow
Men, ships, civilizations
Whole; time blinks an eye

 

I have been thinking
About the Nature of Time
Endless Thoughts; Timeless

 

The spirit of haiku involves writing poetry about nature. In that spirit, I offer the following:

The Giant Waterbirds of Cophus II

Giant waterbirds
Singing Vulcan poetry
Wondrous harmony


The Flowers of Qo’noS

In sunny fields
Beware of giant flowers
They’re carnivorous


Trillus Prime Sporthogs

Grunting gleefully
Now that they have caught the scent
Sporthogs on the hunt


The Shadowpack of the Forest Moon of Avradaga

Swift, silent, unseen
Flowing, perfect camouflage
Shadowhounds pursue


The Cattle of the Borg

In flawless order
Assimilated cattle
Go to milk themselves

 

Excellent offerings!!!
