Scifihaiku ~ How Novel!


Voices in their heads
The women remain silent
It’s Chaos Walking.

Do you read or write sci fi?
Maybe you can write a haiku about it?

I don't read or write Sci fi, but I enjoyed the Haikus, Madeleine.

Old Kitty said...

Elaine AM Smith said...

This is a great post thanks for drawing my attention to these books. I tend to watch more sci-fi than I read but I loved Frank Cottrell Boyce's book Cosmic.

Alex J. Cavanaugh said...

I write science fiction but no way I can do any form of poetry!

Jennifer Hoffine said...

Sci-fi and Haiku...unique combination.

Haiku could work as a starting point to write a logline/hook sentence for any book.

Hilary Melton-Butcher said...

Hi Madeleine .. great combination - now this I couldn't do ..

Cheers - I'm retiring back to Eastbourne .. to comment elsewhere .. have a good week - Hilary

Tara Tyler said...

love that
sci fi review in haiku!
how novel!

Misha Gericke said...

I have my first published sci fi book waiting to be read.

I do however read a lot of sci fi because four of my six crit partners write it. :-D

Rachel Morgan said...

I don't read or write much scifi. And, um, I'm not very good at haikus! You're the haiku-machine!

Milo James Fowler said...

Nice SF-ku! I look forward to reading the ones published in Scifaikuest -- we might share a ToC. =]

the writing pad said...

Not a big SF person (have enough trouble with the here and now!). But I did enjoy your Haikus - or should I say your Hai-Fi? Anyway, they make a nice noise when read aloud :-)
Hope all is well with you!

The Golden Eagle said...

Great haiku about Science Fiction!

It's my favorite genre. :)

Oh, and I just finished reading the Chaos Walking Series--it was amazing.

Susan Fields said...

I do read and write sci fi, but I couldn't write a haiku - yours are fantastic, though!

David P. King said...

Great haiku! And yes. I read and write sci-fi.

I've been a stranger to your blog. I'm looking to fix that. :)

Stina Lindenblatt said...

Very Clever!

And the answers to your questions are: no, no, and no. :)

denise covey said...

I don't think I could write a sci-fi poem Madeleine!

How's your 200 words daily going?

Denise

Madeleine Maddocks said...

Hi all, glad you enjoyed the haiku.I hope they inspire you all to read the novels too.

Misha- Wow good for you!

Alex, I'm sure you could, if I can.

Milo- True LOL!

David- Glad to see you back. I know I don't always write sci fi and YA on my blog that might interest you more, but I'll try to include these more as I've spent rather a lot of time lately on general haiku and romance of late.

Golden Eagle - Yes Chaos Walking is gripping stuff.

Denise - Almost! ;O)

Talli Roland said...

I love your haikus! Always so clever!

Cynthia Chapman Willis said...

What an interesting idea, but I'm not the one for this. Love your haikus, though.

Patsy said...

Your haikus are great - can't think of any myself, sorry.

Trisha said...

I've written a bit of sci-fi, and have read a bit too...but more fantasy than sci-fi. I do love me some space travel though!

Haikus are such fun! :)

Lydia Kang said...

I like writing light sci-fi, but I've never tried a Haiku about it!

Medeia Sharif said...

I tried writing sci-fi ages ago and gave up, but I do love reading it.

Great haikus, Madeleine.
