Disclaimer: I don't own Rurouni Kenshin or any related characters. Nor do I own the lovely character Mei-mei. She belongs to kie-san.

A/n: So here I am with my OC Exchange fic! This time around, I thought I'd take a stab at poetry.

There will be several poems coming along, probably around seven. And all different types, though each will focus on Mei-mei, Enishi and all related instances.

If you don't know who Mei-mei is, well, you can enjoy these poems anyway, or you can have even more fun by reading Kie-san's brilliant fic Once Upon a Time in Shanghai/

So enjoy post number one, the haiku.

Starving, desperate

Two souls are saved on the streets

Of Shanghai, China
