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. -------------------- //LEFT ARM PULLS TRIGGER, RIGHT ARM SHRUGS SHOULDER//TRANSMISSION ENDED

Thank you. They took a while to perfect the words and flow, but I got them down the way I like them.

Wars are won. But they come at a price.

I liked the haikus a lot. They were very well thought out and flowed quite well!

"It is old men who declare war, but it is youth who must fight and die" those are the two finest examples I know. --------------------  Oliver_lowe@hotmail.com TESSource Staff |
