Yet another cloneku

Now let’s think about this for a moment. How would you top Shenxiu if you were Huineng? Shenxiu’s poem seems impeccable!
Imagine a scifaiku post about the first probe landing on Mars. If you then did a poem on a second probe’s crash on Mars, all you’ve done is restate the first post with minor changes. Long-time Scifaiku list members call this a cloneku.

Pilgrim

out of
the matter pod: a parfit
gentil knight

  And therto hadde he riden (no man ferre)
  As wel in Cristendom as hethenesse,
  And ever honoured for his worthinesse. 
Geoffrey Chaucer

Gedankenexperiment

what if ski-masked goons
roam these woods…
let’s stay indoors

Hold still, son. It is the will of God.
