1984
The bombs fade away
with your red sash, yet I know
Big Brother remains
Cat’s Cradle
when we blink out in
the same untimely instant -
duprass journey’s end
The Old Man and the Sea
those fish were late, the
years picked me clean long ago
nothing left but bones
May 14, 2012
i want our tangled
limbs, your mouth, the fragile roar
of your fingernails
Slaughterhouse-Five
Unstuck in time, yet
I can’t escape memories
of the slaughterhouse
Mockingjay
Each night I pray that
my children will never know
hunger or arrows
Harry Potter - The Goblet of Fire
if my name had been
first out of that flaming cup,
would cedric have lived?
Harry Potter - The Prisoner of Azkaban
As the stag’s light shines
and warms the night, I know my
father would be proud
mig14 asked: Are you going to write a Mockingjay haiku? The Catching Fire one is beautiful. The Hunger Games one is also good, but the CF one brought tears to my eyes.
I haven’t read Mockingjay yet, but I’m planning to start it soon (I just got a copy over the weekend). As soon as I read it, I’m definitely planning on writing a haiku. I’m so glad that you’ve enjoyed my writing! That’s always very nice to hear.
Catching Fire
when my arrow tore
the sky apart, i lost you
somewhere in the black
Orlando
When the muses came
and stripped me of my sex, they
took all but my name
A Game of Thrones
in that last moment
i weighed my honor against
my children’s safety
Harry Potter - The Chamber of Secrets
though I can hear the
serpent’s song, I know I am
a true Gryffindor
The Hunger Games
If they let us live,
I hope you’ll forgive me for
not loving you back.
