Stars Sparkled

heavenly stars sparkled
kaleidoscope of color

Martians couldn’t comprehend
rainbow colors
wavelengths
different perspectives
leading to misunderstanding

Centaurans relishing patterns
mystical meanings
spectrum
feelings revealed
wavelengths evoking emotions

offworlders different perspectives
enriching human lives

……

This is a sci(na)ku tanka sonnet, of the form:

Couplet: 3 words / 3 words

Tanka: 3 words / 2 words / 1 word / 2 words / 3 words

Tanka: 3 words / 2 words / 1 word / 2 words / 3 words
