SHARE

For a bit of fun last Friday, we asked our Facebook and Twitter followers to show off their writing chops by composing science haikus. We didn’t realize so many Popular Science readers are poets! Some of our favorite haikus are highlighted below, and one or two may even show up on the letters page of our October issue.

Emits beauty in darkness

Explosions of light

we all are buzzing systems

of star dust and breath
