HAIKU!

 Written by: Levena Lindahl

 The Prose Edda

Ragnarök is here

Jörmungandr beckons Thor

Goddamnit, Loki! 

 

The Dark Jewels Trilogy

Hell Fire, Mother

Night, and may the Darkness be

Merciful, Jaenelle! 

 

The Hobbit

There And Back Again

I tricked an ancient Dragon

A modern epic. 

 

A Song Of Ice And Fire

Noble men have died

A kingdom torn asunder

Winter is Coming. 

 

Harry Potter

Arise, Chosen One,

Your destiny lies ahead

Defeat Voldemort. 

 

The Phantom of The Opera

Music of the Night

His mask hides him from the light

The Phantom is here! 

 

Faustus

All knowledge at his

Beck and call, Faustus tries to

Find his forgiveness. 

 

Dante’s Inferno

He does not know Death

Nine circles he has traveled,

Dante’s search now ends. 

 

The Reichenbach Fall

His end came too soon

A nation mourned his passing

Gone, not forgotten. 

 

Sherlock Holmes

Elementary dear

The science of deduction

My good doctor Watson. 

 

The Portrait of Dorian Grey

Oh corrupt mortal

Until you view your visage

Ever young you’ll stay! 

 

The Bible

You’re created flawed

You are punished at His whim

Eternal fire. 

 

Inkheart

Words become visions

Visions take on their own life

Books escape themselves.

 

Jurassic Park

Warnings go unheard

A butterfly spreads its wings

Nature frees itself. 

 

His Dark Materials

It permeates us

Dust drifting through the ages

Love gone but not lost. 

 

The Pit and the Pendulum

In darkness I wait

This torturous existence

Why does it not end?

 

Wraeththu

We evolved onwards

Humans are unaccepting

Arise, fellow hara!
