The Ronin's Tale: Seven Haikus

1. Pawns on a Larger Playing Field Even when I take my turn, you make yours bigger - and now it's checkmate. 2. Never what you seem What am I but stuff - when I think that I am more, really, I am less. 3.Answer Will death take me where the land is cracked with sickness, and chasmed by guilt? 4.Abyss To lead I must fear the vastness of potential, and then overcome. 5.Exchange Hold me, because you are my world. I will trade my kami for your own. 6. Again Death does not start here, rather it comes at the end of each old process. ~ * ~ 7. Scuffle My inner demons, sometimes they are on my side - but usually not.
