If I did own the turtles ... why would I be on fanfiction instead of writing comics, movies, and cartoon episodes for them? 8O

Leonardo is both challenged to write haikus and is relieved to learn he can write about all he observes instead of strictly nature. He may be great or terrible at this, but these are his attempts at writing haikus.

. . .

Light comes from living room

A computer screen shines there

Don works late again

. . .

Smell of sweat wafts free

Smacks and grunts are heard by all

Raph is working out

. . .

Rustle of paper

Laughter between pages turned

Mickey is reading

. . .

Teeth, steel, and tail bite

Gray, soft fur covers father

Balance in all things

. . .

Red hair and green eyes

Keen mind and bright voice unite

Four brothers' best friend

. . .

White mask over face

Wooden weapons freely swung

Casey Jones on hunt

. . .

Smog in sky blocks stars

A million lights below

New York City night

. . .

Foul smells fill nostrils

Water running all around

Metal surrounds us

. . .

Passions flair, limbs fly

Weapons meet in clacks and clangs

Sparring refines us

. . .

The cup is raised

Steam is breathed in to smell

Tea then fills the mouth

. . .

Fields and woods behind

A house and barn rise before

We have come to rest

. . .

Old things surround me

Row upon row up and down

Second Time Around

. . .

Engines roar tires scream

Brother and his best friend whoop

Raph, Casey, ride out

. . .

What did you think?

God Bless
