Reading Tea Leaves
a collection of avatar haiku
. helium lost .

Author's Notes: So Vicki So prompted Avatar haiku in the Zutara Chatroom, and I spewed out these ten. There are many different genres mixed in; they're not all confined to, say, angst. Anyway, enjoy—there'll be more to come, I'm sure, as I love writing haiku.

Oh, and the plural of haiku is haiku. Keep that in mind if reviewing :P


Chaki #1


sweetly the cabbage
touches my yearning hands, and
I feel loved again

I don't know why, but
I find Aang quite attractive.
And thus, me—foaming.

scars on the surface
can't even begin to show
the scars inside me…

the soft smell of tea,
dotted with the drops of rain,
tastes of memories…

perfection:
something that hinders
more than helps

with a rush of wind
my fear of flying is gone
and I am free

You may think I'm just
a silly animal, but
I'll take over the world!

Sokka weird.
I sneeze on Sokka.
Sokka green now!

I have only one regret:
Not the killing, none of my actions
but rather, seeing her leave…

I met a demon today
who played a game of hard-to-get with me.
Name's Foofoocuddlypoops.
