In this #monoku by Katherine E. Winnick (background image provided by FreshOutAI), a black background is cut in half by a horizon line. Above the line, the first hints of a coming sunrise are visible — no more than a faint glow on the horizon. Visible in the glow is the black streak of a missile’s smoke trail across the sky. Just under the horizon line, in white text, is the single line poem “dawn missiles dim the baby’s cry”. Katherine is an award winning Japanese short-form poet, published in 18 countries with some works translated into Japanese, Hindi, German, French and Romanian. She is the founding editor of the Shadow Pond Journal and part of the editorial team at The Wee Sparrow Poetry Press. #haiku #poetry #dawn

from time to time I
admit walking back the cat
to know where I went
and chill in the lacuna
of the matata I've seen

Pulled out her blond hair
To reveal her dark black roots
Every full moon rise

Shimmer through the night til dawn
Embers glowed til noon

We dare the climate,
armed in shrouds of dense logic.
It speaks just physics.

Both @kentpitman and Charlie have provided #haiku for this episode ! Kent Pitman will also join.
Kent's #climateCrisis one: https://climatejustice.social/@kentpitman/116564040039873948
And Charlie's #lisp topical one (iirc).
By the way, I tooted the announcement differently to normal, so I retooted already - if someone else could retoot when the show starts, that would be great.
With compass in hand
No need for a weatherman
To tell the south wind
From a blustery north wind
Or which way the wind will blow

to drown the public in dark
aphotic news zone
where no light sheds on their path
to enrich their shellfish selves
