Author's note: Hah, betcha didn't know I wrote poetry too, did ya? Well, I do.
Especially haiku - I love haiku! This isn't one of my best poems, but I like it,
you know? It's naff, but sort of deep. And it rhymes, if you notice.

Thinking about me

The man I am now and the

Man I was before...

All around me, this

Era I helped to forge by

The blade of my sword.

Battousai; killer

The manslayer, other me

Who I used to be.

Who have I become?

A rurouni with a home

...And a family?

Now surrounded by

Happiness, the sight of smiles

The sound of laughter,

Do I deserve it?

A chance to live happily

For ever after?
