Haiku Picturings!
Yes, you read that correctly. I said Haiku Picturings. For those of you who don't know, a haiku is an ancient form of Japanese poetry that consists of three lines: the first, with five syllables; the second, with seven syllables; and the third, with five syllables once more. They usually describe a moment in time or a scene in nature, but I'm going to adapt that to write haikus describing CBers. If you would like one, please post below! (First person to post, please top).

Soft shall you sleep, small
Creature of the day, Fauna
Keeps watch by your head.

This is just sort of a note to all-- sometimes when I'm writing these, I'll kind of picture the CBer's name, like in Rose bud's or Vyolette's. Sometimes, though, I'll picture the CBer themselves, like in Leeli's or in Viola?'s. If you have a specific preference you can let me know, but otherwise, I'll just go with whatever my mind does. :)

Oh hey, I remember you! You posted some amazing stuff on the art thread, if I remember correctly. :) Welcome back!

Frosted lightning creeps
Across the dewy morning
Sky, hiding danger.

Sorry for the wait everyone-- here's Leafmists's:
Winnowing, winding
Mist, it waits, for a little
twist of simple fate.

*ahem* Might one dare to ask? To hope? To dream?
I'd like one, please. I love haikus! They're much more difficult to write than one would think-- so much meaning and imagery, in so few words. The elegance of simplicity. Less is often more.
(February 12, 2018 - 9:16 pm)
Exactly! They're so fun to create, though. So simple, yet so much meaning.

Moonbeams rain down on
A forest glade, the bark of
Trees like chocolate.

A thousand, thousand thanks, Starseeker! It's beautiful. I love the image of forest-trees drinking in the moonlight like rain. And I'm so glad you understand the implications of my location! It's the name of one of my imaginary countries. ;D

Wow, this seems really cool. Would you do one for me, please?
(February 12, 2018 - 9:25 pm)
Why thank you, coyote! I'm rather proud of them myself.

Fearsome coyote
Framed by the silvery moon
The king of all beasts.

Thanks, Cignus! Your name is cool. Are you a particular fan of swans, or did the name appeal to you in some other way? (Sorry, I'm the CB's resident name freak. XD)

Glistening white like
new-fallen snow, the feathers
Of a bathing swan.
