Kate's fear -her crying in the rain- at the end of the pilot was the first thing that leapt to mind with the prompt. And since it was Marti's day I HAD to do Haikus... despite writing maybe one of the darn things since grade school.

OMG, I'm *so* excited about the Luau!

You know, haikus scare me as they tend to be cold, for the lack of a better word, but not these. These are alive.

I love how they work as a series, how one connects to the next and the previous one. I love the mental image of the first one, the urgency of the fifth one and the rawness of the second one.

Most importantly? YAY, you're writing!!!

[crowgirl13]

I can understand and agree with your read on this form; traditional Haiku tend to be so artfully crafted they resemble sculpted snow lace. I'm very excited that you feel this lot ended up more lively. :D

As I told Lou, the fifth image is the one that sparked this set - it's so powerful, remains one of the most resonant out of the pilot for me. Thank you- as always, you give great feedback. *smooches*

And a zillion times YAY for writing -finally! *twirls you joyfully*

Oh, lovely! Very evocative, all of them.

[crowgirl13]

Why thank you very much. :)

YAY!!! OH, I'm loving the luau already!!!

Very very nice, damn, from the title to every single one of her fears, they are like tiny little stories.

EXCELLENT as always, you rock, you totally do!!

[crowgirl13]

YAY indeed! I think we're getting really good at this luau/riff/ lostsqueelove thing, don't you? There's so much great STUFF... and it's just the first day!

Thanks babes! I'm so glad you liked this lot o' verse. The title kinda cracks me up - normally my titles are so short and this one's almost longer than the poem/s. I think Haiku can be like poppy seeds - tiny, potent, with immense life within. [That's a new belief, mind... but it makes sense. :D]

Thank you, thank you!

*plays you the traditional air guitar rock ballad of gratitude*

Nice! I love the structure and the moments and the details you chose.

[crowgirl13]

Thank you! Can you believe it - I actually used *structure* for an entire piece! This might be a first for me. :) I'm glad the chosen details/moments worked for you - that really was the hardest bit to wrangle.

♥!
