obliterates light

Orbital Paradox
strings of satellites for the sake of connection isolate our world *** Author's Note: I love all things space, but I love space more. According to the ESA, there are currently more than 35,000 objects being tracked in orbit around our planet, but the number of pieces of debris over one centimeter is over a million. What intelligent species would work so hard to block out the stars?

If You Love Me, You'll Do It
I met Jason when I was five years old. I could say that I loved him from the moment I saw him. He was so handsome to me and I felt in awe by his presence. When they introduced him as the new kid in school, I wanted to be his friend right away. I remember it like it was yesterday. I remember his smile and how he didn't seem shy. He appeared confident and ready to learn. I waved at him and said "hello," before anyone else could even say a word. He sat next to me, and I asked him if he wanted to be friends. He looked so happy as he said, "Yes!"

Wow very beautifully describe
wow superb perspective on riding history ?! Like finding out that it repeats and whatever we do humanity just doesn't learn.. This action keeps hiding the light, the light of a better and kinder world. Well, thanks, I got carried away.
Quite the prospect. Great haiku, Dana!
Oh... I thought this was going to be another kind of dirty lol But this one was good too!! I can feel the sand getting caught in the corners of my eyes and mouth!! 😅
I wouldn't be surprised if this is our earth's plight is the years to come. Loved your Haiku!
Thinking of the haze that hits Singapore around this time. Well done, Dana.
Love this and the depth behind it! Beautifully done! Bravo!
Dustbowl memories!!
Perfect imagery!
Love how you remind us that the past infiltrates our present 🥰
I love the second line, it goes so well with the pic and the overall sky-ku
I can't imagine licong through that..
One of the most intriguing books I read last year was on the Dust Bowl. I highly suggest it, and thank you for the reminder through your haiku. https://bookshop.org/p/books/the-worst-hard-time-the-untold-story-of-those-who-survived-the-great-american-dust-bowl-timothy-egan/15546508
