I love writing Haikus. My best friend taught me how to write them. He said ' It's not that hard. All you have to do is learn.' So I did and I fell in love with them. Here's my first Haiku:
Clear like Crystals It is clear, you know that what some don't know, we do albeit, they will. 03/21/11
Murasaki, these are haikus(is that the right word?) in memories of characters I made up and write about. I hope you like them!
Marsk Your kind sacrifice Restores the hope inside me; I won't forget you.
She's a character who is constantly giving up her own comforts for someone else's benefit, until she makes the ultimate sacrifice. I think you can guess what that is.
Alison I find you haunting Stalking my dreams and my guilt Threatens to consume.
She was killed when she was a young woman. This haiku is from the killer's point of view.
Danny My knight in armor Your sword of truth, held up high, Shines light around me.
You can tell he's a cool person.
Arleta Like a thorny rose Delicate and beautiful Dangerous to foes.
That really says it all... beautiful, but if you are evil, beware.
This one doesn't really have any specific person that it's referring to... I think.
Empty as a shell After it is abandoned Where has the life gone?
And this one is for a story plot I'm considering, but I haven't decided any names yet.
You lie where you fell I stare at your sacrifice Forgive my slowness.
I'm considering a storyline with a plot to kill one character. So another character who is a good friend of the planned victim gets there first. And the planned victim comes and finds their friend lying dead, and that haiku was from their point of view.
Sorry about the morbid ones!
You've probably figured out I like to write stories.
Murasaki, I liked your haikus and I hope you like mine!
Oh, and... if you want to see Marsk, go to the game Princess Dress-up where I managed to get a pretty good representation of her. I left a comment, follow my instructions and see if you like her! She's actually a lot more beautiful than the picture.
Again, I hope you like my haikus! And I hope that's the right word.
