The New Voyager
A haiku
On another plane
I become the dream pilot
I draw my own map
I was tagged by Jupiter Grant to write a haiku in response to Galit Birk, PhD’s July haiku prompt:
I haven’t written many haikus, and they seemed deceptively easy to write — but they are anything but! Being concise is quite hard, especially when we writers love to lean on the verbose and purple prose side of things. But, it is an exercise in saying as little as you can while still painting a grander image, in addition to adhering to the syllable rules. So much more difficult than I expected!
“Imagine” is a broad theme, and a suitably intangible one at that. I went through a few different iterations of how I wanted to approach it, and decided to go for the one above. Thank you for the tag, Jupiter!
