Trying a "lune"


I came across a new poetic form, the "lune" - there was a short piece about it in the latest Scifaikuest.

A lune is basically a shorter haiku, though with only one rule: It consists of 13 syllables arranged in lines of 5-3-5.

Lunes can be about any subject. Since I learned about them in a science fiction poetry journal, though, I tried to write a science fiction related one.

slow dancing
in fading Earthlight

Hmm. I might try more.

Pax et bonum
