Author's Note: Yes, I know I have a fanfic that I'm supposed to be working on, but I thought it might be nice to give you all something to read in the meantime. I did this for an assignment in my Creative Writing class, by the way.

PLEASE READ:

Each of the haiku below represent a different person/thing related to The Avengers. Think you can guess who or what I'm referring to in each one? Keep in mind that these haiku are strongly influenced by my own personal views on each subject, so guessing might be difficult. Also, each haiku does not necessarily reveal a 'truth' like they're supposed to, but I tried my best-- I'm sure all of you understand. Answers and my explanations as to them will be posted in a second chapter. Read and enjoy!

Disclaimer: I do not own the Avengers.

Ten Haiku

(1)

Dream-catcher woven

of thread most strong and cunning;

Captures nightmares all.

(2)

Bee tastes bitterness

of wilted rose's pollen;

Stings petals, and dies.

(3)

A blackberry bush,

Fruit sweet and pleasant to taste;

Beware of its thorns.

(4)

Metal man dances

to master's dangerous tune;

Movements strong and harsh.

(5)

Warm honey, golden;

Delicious nectar soothes and

gives a cheery glow.

(6)

Red cardinal, vain;

It charms and beguiles with

its handsome birdsong.

(7)

Sultry black widow;

Sinful temptress spinning webs

for men to fall in.

(8)

Helpless pond lily,

Pretty and enjoyable,

But barely floating.

(9)

A feathery fiend

skulks moonless night and gives a

piercing cry; Ee-urp!

(10)

Volcano's magma

loudly erupts into a

frothy refreshment.
