Gendrano (To the astronauts of the ill-fated Columbia Space Shuttle, February 3, 2003) let our remains scatter on earth's bowel we've paved the way so future astronauts can carry on our goals ------------------------------ yonder above the vast expanse how puny the earth looks a blue-white speck adrift almost in nothingness just for a little while there I sensed not only loneliness but fragile hope for humankind in its incessant search for peace Published in World Haiku Review, Vol. 3, Issue 1, March 2003 For comments, email me at vgendrano@yahoo.com Other poems Haiku/Senryu Tanka Haiga Sijo poems Uploaded 14 February 2003.
