A Scifaiku Poem by Wendy Van Camp

Ark
slingshot to Mars
a hollow asteroid ark
immigration begins

Time travel has always been a favorite science fiction concept for me. I am drawn to the paradox of such stories. I ended up writing a series of scifaiku on the topic, drawing from this well-known trope.

This poem is a part of the scifaiku poetry series about time travel which appeared in “Far Horizons”.
