Sand Blown Poet Haiku

Its Name Is Far Out

a new dwarf planet...
announced only this past year...
"hello...distance here...

eleven...billion...
miles away...orbiting now...
just off to one side...

gravity well...yes...
twenty two billion miles wide...
a spin round the sun...

it is some wonder...
the gravity well does stretch...
half way...the next star...

eleven billion...
just a drop in the bucket...
thousand year orbits...

humans are dreamers...
lifetimes amounting to what...
'castles'...in the air...

Constance La France December 19, 2018 at 7:55 AM Stan, I love your dreamers haiku's. Humanity has to look to the future and to space as this world is being destroyed. Sand Blown December 19, 2018 at 9:35 AM thanks...another dwarf planet really was found...but we need to take the so called leaders (morons who deny reality) from office and institute psychological and intellectual tests for prospective leaders...this planet is not their personal property...neither are the people
