My entry into the
This tanka is about the periodic magnetic flips that the Earth does on a geologic timescale. You can see this in marine (ocean) sediments. The latest switch in magetic poles is really overdue (again, speaking on a geologic timescale) going by past flips, which were pretty steady in their periodicity. I wonder if any of the compass craziness in the Bermuda Triangle might be due to the beginnings of another magnetic flip. There were species die-offs at the time of these events in the past.
I guess I was thinking about this in the context of a time-traveling fantasy game.
Edit:
This was something I learned in college many years ago and I needed a topic for a haiga contest on deviantART. Here is a link to the Wikipedia version of geomagnetic reversal.
