A poem

[storysinger]

I'm rather pleased with it, really, though it feels a little too sad.

A flower of glass
Lying in winter sunshine
Warmer than the snow

Stronger than the ice
But seeming just as fragile
Waiting for spring thaw

I bring the warm sun
And winter white turns to green
But there is no bloom.

This one is sad indeed,
but beautiful aswell,
I didn't think you were the poet type

[storysinger]

Often I am not; it is only occasionally that the mood strikes me to try my hand at poetry.

you should try it more,
you're good at it,

Ooo. Very nice. It is beautiful and sad. I like.

This resonates well with me. I'm not really a fan of poetry - it has to really catch me and hold me for me to read it more than once unless it's for a class or something academic.

It's very nicely done, Taran, you should be proud.

I was thinking about Yuffie, as one might imagine. The Plum Petals storyline brought the image to mind; of a rose made of glass, surrounded by winter snow.

A pity I can only do haiku; I think it would have worked better in rhyming iambic quatrains, but it would have lost its simplicity.

I can see where the current crack from Kingdom Hearts would have Yuffie close to your heart. There is a talent to doing haiku - they say everyone can do it, but I've always felt there is a talent to choosing the right words - it just can't be the right number of syllables, there's more to it than that. I think you've captured it well, I can see Yuffie in those words. More importantly, I can see Yuffie the way you look at her in those words.
