British poet and speculative fiction writer recently got a little creative with the Periodic Table, writing one haiku for each element.
Carbon
Show-stealing diva,
throw yourself at anyone,
decked out in diamonds.
Silicon
Locked in rock and sand,
age upon age
awaiting the digital dawn.
Strontium
Deadly bone seeker
released by Fukushima;
your sweet days long gone.
