Kitsune Moon (Draft II) - Haiku Quartet

Moonlight graces a
gently lapping sakura
blossom cast river.

Known myth surrounds thee,
O wandering shapeshifter
Only chasing light.

Nine beautiful tails,
Gentle eyes of amber light,
Gleaming this spring night.

Love, fox or princess?
Winding the long threads of fate,
Within veiling mists.

Oooh, good job! ^^ Even though the first draft had too few syllables in some lines, I think they're both just as good. Very Happy

Heh, thank you. ^_^

*Huggles* Haiku is pretty tricky compared to regular poetry, though. It's definitely a change.

by **shadowsowner888** 3/5/2010, 8:03 pm

Really? I kinda find it easier because of the rules. xD That way I don't have to try so hard to come up with a style.

by Selene Hime 3/5/2010, 8:04 pm

Oh, okay, XD. I guess my poetry just goes with the flow/style of whatever mood I'm in when writing it.

by Selene Hime 3/8/2010, 9:57 pm

Time for another update, XD. This is one of my better poems, too. (Even if it is older.) ^_^

Blue Eyes

Though cool as ice,
They bear little strife.

Two of the palest blue,
Clear as the morning dew.

Powerful as fire,
Blue flames that keep jumping higher.

Pale blue eyes,
Reflecting the endless sky.

They are the key to my heart,
And right from the start,
I knew I couldn't part.

Oooh. :3 That's sweet! (Lol, my brother almost made me type "ooosh." xD)

Written from Sheik's PoV.

LoZ: Warrior of Shadows

I am but a whisper in the night,
Soon vanishing in a flash of light.

After providing a song of sight,
Lifting you into flight.

Yet there is blue beneath red,
And more than what was said.

Sadly I go,
To continue the flow.

I am but a shadow in your life,
Seemingly causing my own strife.

Such is a warrior's way,
Forever unable to stay.

by **shadowsowner888** 3/11/2010, 12:13 pm

*giggles* I am but a ME in your life! Very Happy

(I'm obsessed with my name. xD)

I like that one. :3 It's got this total mystique to it.

by Selene Hime 3/11/2010, 12:15 pm

Lolz, that's a good thing, I guess? ^_^

Thanks, though. *Huggles* Wink

A short poem on springtime:

Spring

Feel the gentle spring wind,
New beginnings and the breath of life,
Chance for the past to no longer rend.

Lore of legend and light,
Sakura grace now in full bloom,
Peace and love, finally in sight.

by Selene Hime 3/12/2010, 6:16 pm

'Preface' to a CLC sidestory.

LoZ: Into the Shadows

But a mere whisper in the night,
A breath of the faintest wind.
Darkness cast by a brief light,
Shades of gray closely intertwined.

Whetting of a blade,
Its low hiss curling through the air.
Bound by his fallen master's harsh crusade,
Desire to prove himself in the err.

Warrior of the dusk,
Created to snuff the reign of gentle light.
Countering hate and mistrust,
Now granted sight.

Dare not to rest in the face of fate,
Or take refuge in a Goddess' shaded meadows.
Care not about one's clouded traits,
Refuse to step into the shadows.

by **shadowsowner888** 3/12/2010, 6:26 pm

I'm pretty sure I had the wrong atmosphere for both of those, as I'm listening to a bouncy little Japanese song right now. xDD But they were delightful!

by Selene Hime 3/12/2010, 6:36 pm

Lolz, I'm sure that made for interesting reading. I'm glad that you enjoyed them, Shadow. ^_^

Something that turned out more or less as a present for a friend. From Dark/Shadow Link's PoV. (And, the OC mentioned is not a Sage, to clarify.)

Legend of Zelda: Shroud to Light

Rolling and rich green turf,
Fresh joyful winds.
Far different from my master's dark hearth,
The Hero no longer forced to defend.

I am but his shroud,
Shadow of light.
Merely a dark cloud,
Yet finally turning from plight.

Abandoned for harsh blunder,
Failure in a Sage's shrine.
Torn vastly asunder,
For that of supposed decline.

Alone for a time,
Others filled with distrust.
Watching the stars for a sign,
Unsure of what is just.

Save for one kind soul,
Just a traveling mage.
Yet one that makes me whole,
In her own right a Sage.

Offering a second chance,
A light in the dark.
Sparing more than one glance,
Withholding a tender heart.

Someone to trust, befriend,
Goddess' granted the wish of a shade.
Now on the mend,
Opening my hidden glade.

by **shadowsowner888** 3/17/2010, 4:18 pm

I bet she really liked her present. x3 (Yes, this is how I'm complimenting this one. nod

)

by Selene Hime 3/18/2010, 4:26 pm

*Smiles* Thank you, Shadow. I'm glad that you liked it. And, yes, she did as well. ^_^

Ren x Cou

Elemental Gelade: Katana no Kaze
~ Sword of Wind ~

Gentle winds dance through the air,
Creating tenderness and care.
Zephyrs coiling with growing might,
Gracing the world with both power and light.

So few desire to truly combine,
Never looking to your unique shine.
You are but a mere power sign,
To those who seek a weapon divine.

Do others see this emotion?
The chance of everlasting devotion?
Or just a gleaming sword?
Something to rend a painful chord?

As plain as it may be,
The blessed blade is wielded free.
Look past my eyes and you will see,
A promise to be fulfilled by you and me.

So few truly know,
Appreciate your purity of snow.
Only seeing you as a tool of destruction,
Causing much strife and interruption.

Yet one does not have to feel,
To form a preserved appeal,
This creating a peaceful seal,
Still so perfectly real.

We are different but alike,
Capable of such an unusual sight.
For our souls react as one,
Hearts forming our own shimmering sun.

Embarrased. xD I thought the first four links were a poem at first!

by **shadowsowner888** 3/21/2010, 9:28 am

Wow, Pugs. xDD Were they a good poem, at least?

(Great job with this newest one. ^^ It's so beautiful.)

*Pats your back.* XD, its okay. I see that most threads aren't linked to specific posts, so it's and understandable thing. I hope that you enjoyed what your read, though.

Dividing Lines

Some say hope no longer exists,
That there is no song of dawn.
Nary a feeling of bliss,
We of the caged long foregone.

Yet, there are some unbroken,
Spirit remaining free.
Some remain unspoken,
Prepared to rise from the debris.

Guided down a narrow path,
Forever lighting our own way.
Lest we feel another’s wrath,
We evade temptations to stray.

Even at power’s force,
We’ve little to lose.
Naught to remorse,
Among ever shifting hues.

Life marches on,
Into a future ablaze.
Returning to dawn,
Under another’s kind gaze.

by **shadowsowner888** 3/29/2010, 4:06 pm

That made me think of J.R.R. Tolkien's writing style. :3

by Selene Hime 3/29/2010, 5:38 pm

XD, thanks, Shadow. I didn't think of DL in that term initially, but maybe it does resemble it. ^_^
