The End of the World Brings Strange Things

A haiku (sort of) about the end of the world (sort of).

The End of the World Brings Strange Things

 

 

Strange things in the sky,

Glimpsed by frightened eyes, up high.

Pigs learning to fly.

Creepily good haiku (or perhaps senryu); it's in that kind of gray area. I can see how it would describe the end of the world - something like angels of death. But it also has a darkly humorous edge to it, with the "pigs learning to fly" line.

The apocalypse is an idea that has fascinated me for a very long time. I enjoyed reading this piece...speaking of which, the contest will be over soon, I guess I need to decide who wins! Good luck!
