A long time ago
Before the world became new
Catastrophe ruled
Demonic souls wandered free
Ever searching for some peace
~
Forever roaming
Guttered shapes in guttered streets
Hoping for life forms
Intent on finding someone
Jettisoned from the nightmare
~
Kites wheel menacing
Lurking shapes in lurking skies
Marauding dark threats
Nihilistic aftermath
Of once proud, progressive worlds
~
Potent portent now
Quivering relic of man
Roaming with a dog
Simmering nuclear steams
Taunt any hope with despair
~
Under burning earths
Vicious poisons coil and seep
Whimpering answers
X-ray vision is futile
Yesterday's hell lingers on
~
Zero ~ It's just Ground Zero

I measure out my life with haiku. My camera films my soul. ~ Gemma Wiseman

nicely done.
Wow Gemma! You done an excellent job on this form. Did you go see this movie because you seem to have a strong understanding of it. My family and I wanted to go see this but, didn't get the chance. Maybe we can rent it sometime. Anyway, nice job~ Have a nice weekend.
Such a great subject for this prompt. This line was especially visual for me: "Vicious poisons coil and seep"!
I did not "notice" the alphabet at all.
A bleak view of the world, apocalyptic.
These lines struck me in particular:
Nihilistic aftermath
Of once proud, progressive worlds
