Haiku This! Ether
Haiku Hub Poetry Prompt
With 3 lines — 17 moras, in classic haiku form, convey your perspective on the meaning or essence of ether as a natural element in our world.
Ether, or aether as it’s also spelled is the mysterious and all encompassing fifth element permeating our universe. Undeniably present yet nearly incomprehensible to us. Wikipedia tells us more about one of nature’s most illusive elements.
According to ancient and medieval science, aether (Ancient Greek: αἰθήρ, aither[1]), also spelled æther or ether and also called quintessence, is the material that fills the region of the universe above the terrestrial sphere.[2] The concept of aether was used in several theories to explain several natural phenomena, such as the traveling of light and gravity — Wikipedia
Using the classic poetic form of haiku, share with us your experience or an explanation of what this element is or means to the universe we live. Please submit your best unmetered draft for us to review!
