Oh, dear Mockingbird
Why slaughter the innocent-
Who do naught but sing?
~ Persephone
Author’s Note: Wow, I had this moment of revelation…The reference is clear, but to say To Kill A Mockingbird is good, would be an understatement. I simply have no words, for a novel which made me cry at the end. A must read, and when you know all the subtext and morals behind this story, you will understand so, so much more about human nature.
Celestial bodies
Glowing bright, guiding our way
Lighting up our galaxy.
~Persephone
Author’s Note: This was something I thought about when I had stomach ache at 2am in the morning. On a school night. I looked up at my ceiling, and that lone glow-in-the-dark star stuck there and thought it would be great to write a haiku about it. I wish I was like Mr. Magorium. He had so many stars in his room. I don’t even know how to count the syllables…
Edit: I finished it! Not much change, except a title (yes, I’ve done Latin, and I know we don’t have capitals, but hey….) ‘To the stars’, is obviously a reference, to Virgil’s Aeneid, which I did for GCSE, and was remarkable to say the least (especially it’s length O__O). However, it’s also me, paying homage to the stars, and thanking them for giving me such a good subject to write about… at 2 am in the morning and of course, existing in the first place~
