Reading Tea Leaves
a collection of avatar haiku
. helium lost .
Author's Notes: Decided to add some more haiku :) Not as many as the last set, though; I didn't feel as inspired. Any and all feedback is greatly appreciated :)
Chaki #2
deception
is the master of
this nation.
∙
In the land of Ba Sing Sei
where all the pretty girls dance and play
will we be safe and last the day?
∙
Families split in two, and
beating hearts torn apart—
when will this war end?
∙
Every boring, dull day
only serves to remind me of the
great fun that we used to have...
∙
they say the spirit is great
but when I feel it flooding me, all
that I feel is pure terror...
∙
Good tea soothes the soul,
wouldn't you say so, dear friend?
We will all miss you...
Author's Notes: The last one is dedicated to Mako, Iroh's voice actor, who died recently of cancer. Rest in peace.
