Megaton

A flash of light, 

Outshining the star in the sky.

Acrid plumes take flight,

A destiny you can’t deny.

The world recoils in terror,

The Earth trembles with fear.

Forced into existence,

Erasing the fabric of time.

Shattering all resistance,

The bells of fate chime.

The world recoils in terror,

The Earth trembles with fear.

The ground hammers and shakes,

Ringing like a bell.

It trembles and quakes,

Burning with the fires of hell.

The world recoils in terror,

The Earth trembles with fear.

A crime against humanity,

The megaton released.

Bending space with insanity,

Fires of the atom unleashed.

The Queen of the Oceans

Cutting through the seas, sailing through the breeze.

Palace of light, illuminating the night.

Veins of steam, a floating dream.

Luxury untold, waters ice-cold.

Out of the gloom, a demon of doom.

Peaks of ice, breaking paradise.

SOS, SOS

Water pours in, Olympic’s identical twin.

Bulkheads burst, a vessel cursed.

Luck so tragic, in oceans pelagic.

Funnels fall, a wailing distress call.

Out of the gloom, a demon of doom.

Peaks of ice, breaking paradise.

SOS, SOS

The end of an era, illusion of a chimera.

Breaking steel, a titan brought to kneel.

Broken in two, into the briny blue.

12,000 feet under, lying asunder.

Science and Innovation series

Discovery

A spark of light, fire

Time untold, future behold

The start of mankind.

Revolution

A power unheard

Wheels turning, fate unfolding

Steam whistling, roaring.

Penicillin

Savior, champion

Patron of humanity

Guardian of life.

Voyager

Flying to the stars

Last emissary of man

Sailing through the dark.

Singularity

Silicon neurons

Their motivations unknown

Man's last creation?

Tanka poem (Long Haiku)

Elevator

An awkward silence

Uncomfortable small-talk

Uneasy shuffling

Hum of fluorescent lights

Dull whine of machinery
