SciFaiKu – Genes

A Scifaiku Poem by Wendy Van Camp

Genes
gene for traveling
popping among my time stream
trapped in the family tree

Time travel has always been a favorite science fiction concept for me. I am drawn to the paradox of such stories. I ended up writing a series of scifaiku on the topic, drawing from this well known trope.

This poem is a part of the scifaiku poetry series about time travel which appeared in “Far Horizons”. This was a magazine of science fiction stories, art, and speculative poetry.
