Hubble photo of ARP 273, Rose Galaxy
A striking image
Of a rose made of galaxies.
Can we be alone?
***
Author’s note: I truly believe that with all the trillions and gazillions of galaxies out there, we cannot be the only life available. We are probably just neglected and unnoticed. But even then, maybe they are just watching us as an experiment without interfering.

Great poem. They could be life somewhere in space 🧐
Wow! Beautiful Lana!😊💕💗
Aliens think we are annoying and weird lol. This made me think of the enchanted rose in Beauty and the Beast :D
Yeah, it's a desiring Haiku!
Beautiful haiku & image!
awesome image and beautiful thought-provoker of a haiku!
Mayhap whoever's out there is just watching to see what our next play will be....great haiku and picture.
Wow! Your haiku is fantastic! I agree with your author's note too! ✨
Nice haiku! Though I doubt there is anything out there.
Spectacular image and haiku! 💕
I don't want to be an alien's petri dish but I think you're right. It's unlikely we're alone. But what a picture!
Omgggg, that does look like a rose! And yes, I'm sure we're not alone. They may even exist in different frequencies or dimensions, one that our eyes can't see
That makes you wonder!
Fabulous haiku! I love the content - a nebula rose. I think we’ve been watched ever since we began nuclear testing.

Wow! What a striking image for this piece. It exactly looks like a rose✨😊
Lana, that's a beautiful thought. The imagery in this Haiku is wonderfully striking.
