Okay, here are four poems (Haiku's) written for a possible book. They are all related to battle and is written as if an adventurer/soldier wrote his war experiences after battle. anyways, there she blows:

The pessimist

Red, the rivers ran.
For a great battle was won.
Won, but also lost.

Ode to the wind

In, out, all around.
The winds of Tava flowing.
My sail will be short.

The rush

My sight fills with blood.
Running on adrenaline,
I kill my target.

The coming horror

The old birds scatter,
They know the coming horrors,
Killing will come soon.
