Haiku, schmaiku or just Sci-Faiku

Being all New Men and aspiring to the ideals of polymaths like the Renaissance giants Leonardo and Galileo we occasionally touch on the more cultural side. The last competition was a Sci-Fi or Fantasy haiku and /or limerick. As the competitiveness within the group stumbles from negative to exponential some of us let their creative juices flow.

From W.

Springing from the pod,

on my face and down my throat,

can you hear me scream!

Out of the Tardis,

is he regenerating?

ask not why but Who.

Flying out at dusk,

seeking blood from innocents,

back in crypt by dawn.

The bolt necked monster

receives a heaven sent jolt.

'Oh God- it's alive!'

The Monolith stands,

what can release it's secrets?

a hairy finger.

Look to the night sky,

what do the heavens reveal?

infinite wonders.

From I.

There was a young Jedi called Skywalker
Who wasn't as good as he ought'er
He killed his own dad
But that wasn't as bad
As his sister, he wanted to pork her

From P.


Frankenstein’s monster
Demands mate from creator
But they belong dead.

 Dracula seeks blood
Van Helsing’s group opposes
Chase, staked beheaded.

 Cursed forbidden love
Failing reincarnation
Kharis turns to dust

 Wolfsbane curse bitten
Talbot seeks shelter from moon
Silver bullet cures

 Black Lagoon disturbed
Creature awakened with lust
Spurned, poisoned, speared - dead?

 Alter ego doctor
Hyde becomes dominant
Jekyll back in death.

 Obelisk at dawn
Moons signal to Jupiter
It’s full of stars Dave.

 First flight into space
One man and something mutates
Electrified end

 Stones from space hold life
Stored by slaves in great hive domes
Oxygen destroys.

 Hobbs End uncovered
Mars race memory released
Demon earthed to ground

 Cornwall grave robbing
Zombie labour for tin mine
Great conflagration

 Replicants on run
Deckard blindly in pursuit
An electric dream?

 Mars flares towards Earth
Tripods and weed attack man
Microbes fight back.

 Freighter diverted
Face hugger inseminates
Xenomorph blasted

 Film crew capture King
Kong’s love leads to fatal fall
Beauty killed the beast.

 Inaccessible
Plateau holds lost dinosaurs
Challenger proved right.

 Mysterious plague
Raises night flesh eating dead
For fun at the farm.

 Thief stops at motel
Sliced and diced in the shower
Mother controls son.

 Silver Shamrock masks
Laced with evil Stonehenge chips
Primed to crush kids heads.

 Abduction predicts
Encounter in Wyoming
To play the five tones.

 Dark side is so bad
But what makes poor Luke so mad?
Darth Vader’s his dad.

 Teens losing cherries
Ignore cries from drowning boy
Butchered by his mum.
