Haiku inspired by a response on one of my poems by Mr Einstein himself

in a jet black mass

a solitary bright star

signals renewed hope

Ah, the force is strong in you Chris... And thats coming from someone who has only watched the first star wars movie, and not even all the way through.
Reminds me of Earyhrise, the picture of earth taken from the moon. How that blue/green pebnle must be such a wondrous sight amongst the vast blackness.
Packs such a punch, I had to check you hadn't snuck in a few more syllables 😀

Thank you Lorry. You know your avatar is telling me you have turned into seafood. Now I like seafood myself, especially prawns. Now what's it all about eh? Or am I totally mistaken and it's the insides of your skull?

Ha! It's an extreme close up of a tea towel, a deep dark red one. I have no idea why I done it, but done it I did 😀

[Chris Shaw]

A tea towel eh? Trying to impress us women with yer washing up skills:) Nah, minced brain is far more interesting :)

[Lorry]

I never thought I'd be caught out 😀

If it wasn't so brief it wouldn't be visible in the darkness of a black hole in space!
I've heard of man of few words, but not a woman!
Perfect prose!

[Chris Shaw]

Thank you Augustus. A snapshot for you. Keep safe and well.

Solitary bright star very nice expression. Is can be human soul or faded romance in solitude of new born light. Short and full fill .

[Chris Shaw]

Nicely done
Brings to mind the two black holes that just (a billion years ago) merged

[Chris Shaw]

Born from darkness but of light. The stars that twinkled in your eyes so bright. Such an awesome haiku, dear Chris!

[Chris Shaw]

Thanks dear Chris! You're welcome always 💕

This can also take on a religious context, Christine, as being related to the star overhead when Jesus was born, bringing some hope to the world at the time. Any light in the darkness is a symbol of hope and hope is always around if we look hard enough. I enjoy your haikus and senryus. Always perfect in form and content.

[Chris Shaw]

I love where you went with this Haiku Jamila. Thank you so much.
