Winter is coming

I am so cold in this world

Pour your heat on me!

Coronal emissions

I'm blending two writing prompts today - one about roads @Miguel S. and another about solar excess energy explosions @Honeygloom.

These Japanese-style Senryū poems tell a story in roughly 50 words about what might happen to our roads if a big solar blast hit Earth.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

*

Solar flare strikes Earth

Electronics fail, darkness

Blankets the cities

*

Empty highways stretch

Silent under starry skies

No engines running

*

Travelers on foot

Wander asphalt ribbons now

Seeking safe haven

*

Old roads find new use

Chalk maps mark the way forward

Communities form

*

Hope grows like wildflowers

Along forgotten byways

New world beginning​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
