Reviews for: Eight Twilight Haikus

"Haiku are easy.

But sometimes they don't make sense.

Refridgerator."

Wrong. Haiku aren't supposed to be just random syllables strung together. The words need to work together to form a complete idea.

I object to haiku II, I, IV and VI.

II doesn't tell the reader anything, and the third line in particular is only there to take up space.

I also doesn't say anything. There's a few words that one might associate with vampires, but there's no coherency, and the last line doesn't fit.

IV is fine, until line three. "Nothing else to do". What? You're talking about true love and the sacrifice that accompanies it, then you switch to boredom?

VI is another mashing of syllables that fit the 5-7-5 pattern, similar to II.

Haiku I isn't great either, but it does get Bella's message across, so I didn't include it with the others.

However, for all that the others lacked, haiku V, VII and VI are *extremely* good. They have a clear message, and there isn't any meaningless syllable filling going on. Very well done on those ones.

The Haikus were very cool. I wish I could write poetry like that.

Good job )

I especially love the fifth. Perfect for Twilight but could also work well out of that context.
