As part of the Daily Post Haiku Challenge, here’s my third haiku:
Sister and Brother
Flee. Hunted by witch and child.
A seed breeds darkness.
I’m trying to tell a short story I’m working on with these five challenge haikus. So the above may not make sense unless you read the first bits. I’ll string these all together in each post in hopes that it will all make sense. I have to say, this is a lot harder than I thought!
N. E. WHITE’S VERSION OF BROTHER AND SISTER IN HAIKU FORM (INCOMPLETE)
A witch comes to roost,
Head high, eyes bright, child at heels,
To fight skin-deep hate.
Step-daughter and -son
Discover evil amidst.
The child has no skin.
Sister and Brother
Flee. Hunted by witch and child.
A seed breeds darkness.

Is it going to be a story told in haiku, like those poetry/novels we sometimes see in YA?
So ominous and foreboding 🙂
I know. But I’m stumped. There’s a lot more to the story and I have no clue how to fit it all in two more haikus (is that the plural of haiku? must look it up). 😦
