Spring
One, two, three birds:
one red, one blue, one green - come
together and sing!
Summer
Ocean waves lapping
freely under the sunset
-why stay imprisoned?
Autumn
Sticks brush each other
and sparks clash fast in crisp air -
A fire has started.
Winter
A sodden twig floats,
cold and broken from inside.
Waters are too much.
A/N: In this new and inspired project, characters will be represented in an assortment of poetry forms to express a specific theme, thought process or event. Information about these types of poetry will be provided for educational and symbolistic purposes in the notes of this collection, as well as hints on the identities of these characters.
If you would like to provide suggestions for the type of poetry, subject matter or character, I am open to suggestions and if I like them, I may take them into consideration. Otherwise, I will go forth with this collection as I see fit and at my own pace.
With that, the first type of poetry presented here is the haiku, the most well-known form of Japanese poetry. Composed of three lines with five-seven-five syllable counts (although these days, the syllable count can be flexible) and a minimalist approach to beauty, traditional haiku generally use imagery involving nature/the seasons and stillness with a commentary related to life in some fashion.
The haiku written here takes place during four paths for 'Completing the Mission' as our lead moves about through the seasons. Enjoy!
