Haiku | the tao of jaklumen

Cimmy has been very kind to write some more haikus for our Redemption of the Four Kingdoms series, this time, for our story’s protagonists. Once again, this was inspired by Rob’s Genre Haiku Challenge 2013.12: Epic Fantasy.

Cimmy's Stories

If the last batch of haiku read like prayers, this batch should read more like prophecies. Here are some haiku written about some of the characters from jak’s epic fantasy novel, in alphabetical order!

Candrion

One of Ogg’s children,

son of a human woman,

Will take a knight’s place.

Ilaria

A child of darkness,

as mercy’s wind-blown daughter,

Provides lost ones light.

Kolmar

A man of the sword

will learn to walk the dream path

and the road of death.

Llysa

Orphaned half-elf thief

will walk the survivor’s road

and will show others.

Theor

A half dwarven priest

Will seek to serve true justice

And will find mercy

Tjask

A half-giant knight,

Representing justice,

Will serve at His seat

A December haiku challenge for the epic fantasy genre from Rob’s Surf Report via SciFi Haiku: Babylon 5 at Laith’s Ramblings

I present not just one haiku, but three:

Cytropus’s eye
Will gather Ogg’s children home
By means none expect

Gracia and Daedin
Father Sky and Green Woman
Justice and mercy

Half-breeds, all of them
Each born humble and oppressed
Shall be champions

— based on the unfinished Redemption of the Four Kingdoms series by J.R. (jaklumen) and J.A. (Cimmorene/wavemistress) Pratt
