Hello everyone! So, these are poems that are almost haiku, only not...as in, they have the same qualities, but they aren't in 5-7-5 format. Some of them aren't even 3 lines long! There are some people who still consider them haiku, though, so I decided to post them. I'm not great at haiku, but I don't think I'm too terrible...so please tell me what you think!
Special Announcement: New Baten Kaitos challenge! Let's get 200 BK stories up before December! We need less than ten, we can do it!
Xelha/Kalas
Shocking blue hair
Rustles in the breeze
Making her blush
Xelha
Watching it melt
In her warm, pink hands
She mourned the snowflake
Kee
He held her mask
Cursing it for hiding
Her perfection
Lyude
'Stone-carvers blood,' he said
Confirming my suspicions
I bow my head and mourn my mother
Savyna
As the blood ran down her hands
She realized that she could never stop
Gibari
The boat rocked mercilessly
Water, he thought,
Is a very interesting thing
Kalas/Lyude/Fee
A leaf caught in the wind
Flying through the air
Reminding him of what he didn't have
Melodia
The clouds parted
Sunshine fell upon all but her
See Authors Note 1...
The picture developed
She cried as she saw
That Lyude was still frowning
Xelha (See Authors Note 2...)
A tear fell down her face
At the thought
Of another unanswered letter
Authors Note 1: This one was inspired by Legacy Now's story Pieces
Authors Note 2: This one was inspired by Fan Fan Girl's story Sincerely Yours
Like them? Hate them? Let me know! I can't improve if nobody gives me criticism!
It took me forever to actually write all these out. I had to keep re-doing them because they were more of a summary than a moment, as a haiku should be (See? Criticism helps! Thank you Fan Fan Girl!). I think I got them at least somewhat right, but I'm not sure.
Oh, and as for the one about Lyude, I don't know if Almarde was his mother, so don't take my word for it. I would like it if she was, though. It also seems to be hinted at during the game...
Again, there is a Baten Kaitos section-wide challenge going on. Let's try to get to 200 Baten Kaitos stories before 2008! If we try hard, we could probably do it by December!
