Braided Haiku
a stretch of silence the stars in the dark
at Interspace terminal
gazing on the flight board
mother’s call from Mars cancelled spaceflight
the stars in the dark
gazing on the flight board
mother’s call from Mars
*
a stretch of silence
at Interspace terminal
cancelled spaceflight

Note: The new form, “braided haiku”, is created by the poet. There are two monoku: one at the top and one at the bottom having a two-liner in between. In all, the braided haiku frames out to be, two stand-alone three-line haiku: one in italicized and the other in plain text out of a 4-line micropoem.
