Three SciFaiku, by Romeo Esparrago

Originally published in Planet Magazine No. 19 (September 1998).

Faint light-blue stick-figure drawings: an antennaed alien surfing on a rocket, two figures holding hands with a heart between them, and a spiky-lashed eye
Background art by Romeo Esparrago

[Archive note: on the original page, this drawing was the faint background behind the three haiku.]

petroglyphs were pictures
of really skinny aliens
weren’t they?

terraforming is fun
clouds are cool
but do we really need people?

wish’d we met earlier
sigh’d the time-traveling lovers
so they did
