Haiku For You

YA Highway has a cool post today where they take their WIPs and create haiku poems about them. I love haiku, so I thought I'd give it a try. Not my best work but hey, they are about works in progress!

Current WIP

awkward shyness wakes
to newfound strength, speed and skills
must learn why or die

NaNo Project

at the end of life
he finds a reason to live
save her from herself

Very cool, Valerie. I'm especially taken in by the mysterious first one. Great haiku!

These are great!

Thanks! I was hoping they'd turn out a bit more poetic but oh well. It was actually really helpful to try and distill the plots into something so short.

Thanks everyone! This was so much fun to do that I might try it with every project!
