Posted by Myth, and dedicated to ~O~ who got me thinking in haikus (and probably won't like this dedication

 

Taught to hide my pain,

Coldness was our way of life.

I learned to be brave.

 

They laughed at my tears.

Said only the strong can laugh,

Forced me to survive.

 

Tough way to grow up.

A cliched angry young man

Who wasn’t even male.

 

[~O~ suggests that my dedication makes it unclear whose growing up I'm writing about. I mean Myth's, only the style is taken from ~O~.]

Gwai -

 

*snaps fingers appreciatively*

 

Well done. Reading them really felt like reading a poetic opening to a new fantasy novel. :>)

 

"A cliched angry young man

who wasn't even male"

 

That in particular caught my eye - and spurs me to want to read more on Myth. Apparently there're some things I do not yet know...or forgot.

 

 

Pered-

 

Evocative as ever. Yow. O_O

Wow had I forgotten about those. Da-am I didn't knwo this still existed.

 

Ozy, by the way that haiku comment was about living in a man's world and living a fighting, testosterone filled lifestyle

 

Book's still in first draft ;).
