Yu Yu Hakusho Poetry Series: Part III
By Yodai Hiro

From a High Place
On 4.8.05 as the poetry form of a triolet
Yukina speaks of her brother, whom she doesn't know to be Hiei…
From a high place
Blanketed with snow
My fiery twin's disgraced
From a high place
He was dropped to his death below
He lives, this I know
From a high place
Blanketed with snow

The Human Heart
On 5.17.05
Kuwabara to Dr. Ichigaki…
A demon you truly are
These games have gone too far
I'll be sure to stop you
For your soul is blacker than tar
How dare you use another's emotions
To answer your own immoral quotients
I'll never forgive the likes of you
For you swim gleefully in your victims' bloody ocean
Experiments are all that we are
To one with a soul that's so dark
I'll defeat a demon like you
For there's true power in the human heart!

Demon's Delight
On 5.17.05 as the poetry form of a tanka
And Hiei and ice cream lived happily ever after…
So cold to the touch
Sweet sensation on the tongue
Best on summer days
Has come to be called "sweet snow"
Truly this demon's delight

When There's Gray
On 6.29.05 as the poetry form of a triolet
Sensui…
I lose my mind
When there's gray
So much I can't define
I lose my mind
Light and dark in disarray
Turning on all of mankind
I lose my mind
When there's gray

Trio
Dedicated to Zelia Theb
On 6.1.06 as the poetry form of a cinquain chain
Hiei/Yusuke/Kurama…
The blade
Pierces a heart
Singing with bloody clangs
In the cover of quiet dark
The gun
Blasts through walls
Preternatural speed
Long range or point blank, it will kill
The rose
With deadly thorns
A beauty from afar
Lethal up close and personal
The three
One they become
Invincible they are
Force to be reckoned with indeed
Trio
