beneath hydrangea-stained clouds
onyx petals rustle
nightwishes blooming

    winds whisper
    a language long forgotten –
        foreign visitors travel

orange scales glisten
in water-logged helmets:
goldfish in space

    gold wrapped in blue
    we swim weightless above you –
        watching from up high

above a triple crescent moon
we catch skipping stones –
a hoard of dreams

    we hold them close,
    locked in our crystal skulls –
        knowledge of all ages

white whale monologues
to flickering star-jars:
a substitute Sir Yorick

    laughter echoes
    where we dwell, our homes atop
        big mammals floating

we harvest wish petals –
aloe and vinegar
across the tongue

    wash it away
    with a nebula cocktail –
        a toast to the galaxy

black holes in large eyes
we raise sleek dorsal fins
to you far below

    salute
    if you see us swimming,
        we may lift you up
Another renga tree collaboration with the amazeballs Lady-Yume, who rocks my toe socks with haiku all teh time!  This time, we went SciFiKu. :eyes:

If you :+fav: mine, please :+fav: hers!
