I love love love the first line! Brilliant haiku, Frank 🙂
Sonya, thank you very much!! This one was great inspiration!
Totally loving this — I initially had the same thought and used Genesis 1:1 in my post 😉 Fabulous lines!
Thank you! I like your approach as well, particularly as it shows two different ways to use the word ‘Genesis’.
Thank you {you too!} 😉
Brief and yet full of life. Lovely words!
Thank you!
And thus life began.
Brilliant! So much meaning in only a few words.
Thank you!
Lovely haiku Frank! Did you know that there is literally a spark at the moment of human conception? Not sure if you’ve read the post I wrote inspired by that amazing scientific discovery, but your poem reminded me of it.The same patterns on a macro and micro scale 😊
Thank you very much, Mek! I was aware of the science behind kickstarting the primordial soup, which is part of the reason for how I put together the haiku.
I’ll have to find your post about this, as I’m definitely curious to find out what you wrote about it!
You’re welcome! Ah, so cool that had influenced your post too.Post title is ‘stars & flying sparks’ – you can do a search or find it under poetry in the menu 😊
Found it! Excellent and very interesting post!!
Thanks 😊
