Haikus from a blue landscape

 The latest freeXpressions prompt was Blue and the picture was this:

Which prompted these haikus!

seventeen thoughts

all wanting to be expressed

the first one is…

ground and clouds are blue

sky whispers of orange moon

total opposites

moon tries to outshine

comes into the Sun’s ‘hood

scrappy fighter

are the smaller peaks

jealous of the bigger peaks?

they get names

the moon, smooth and round

while the Earth is so bumpy

my view, anyway

the man on the moon

got there before space flight

how?

the whole Earth is blue

and the moon is orange

extrapolation

the moon in orbit

gravity and inertia

falling and missing

lunar vacation?

travel time deal-breaker

the beach is closer

wispy blue cloud

can the moon smell it?

intoxicating

giant fake mustache

across the moon’s face

incognito

health advisory

cyanobacteria

everything’s covered

blue dust from above

carried in the atmosphere

it stains the clouds

the deep blue sea

and above is sky blue

ground wants to play too

rosy glow of dusk?

the early blush of dawn?

which way’s East?

all in shadow

and the Shadow knows

supercomputer

the Earth seems sad

while Moon looks cheery

toxic relationship

glowing substitute

it’s just not the real deal

saccharine shine

dolphin-like leaps

but no hoops to jump through

and no tricks

dark moon splotches

I thought it was cold in space

lunar mold
