When anime arcs drift towards earth
Like spiraling sakura petals
Do you sift for the prettiest dance?
Or do you embrace the orchestral trance?When anime flames ignite into dust
Like twinkling firework sparks
Do you blink at the fiercest light?
Or do you bathe in the fountains of flight?When the anime waves finally wane
Whispering in the sunset mist
Will you sink beneath the soulless shores?
Or will you soar beyond the moonlit stars?
Ah, a poem. Never was very good at ’em. I suppose that
‘while the anime world yelps in pain,
I shall sit and wait in obvious disdain,
enjoying the classics that never wane’?
…I can rhyme, but that’s about it.

Ahh, not bad,
I might add.
But focusing on classics
And ignoring other antics.
Isn’t that blinking
At the fiercest twinkling?
Simply saving the best
By forgetting the rest?
Thinking how best
to reply without a mess,
I finally confess:
Yet ignore them I will not,
merely observing the pot
While sifting for gems amongst the rot
Painful though it may be, I carest not.
Yet what a mess…

The wind confesses:
aloof and adrift, am I?
And so I remain.
(I have to admit
I don’t quite get anime;
Nonetheless pretty.)

@A20-man:
True, it’s admirable to gain
Through storms and seasons
Such treasures through pain
Whereas others may agree
To curse a microscopic reason
Upon rotten or forgotten trees
I won’t fret or forget
Such pleasures to ingest
With majestic leisure
The bird’s eye view of the forest
@Jenn-chan:
Hehe, don’t quite get?
I don’t comprehend
Your content or intent
But I’ll pretend
The message? The metaphor?
Should we dissect the sand?
Or freely enjoy the shore?
Feel the waters in our hands?
Must everything be logical?
To calculate pleasure and pain?
Alas, the inexplicable is eternal
And immortal beauty is insane
I wanted to reply
But poetry I must decry
Because when it gets late
My brain decides to break
Anime is a love
That fits some like a glove
Others find it crass
And would rather chew on glass
I like this and that
And pull from the whole batch
But sometimes I admit
I watch more shojou a bit
For the pretty boys
I just can’t resist.

I think, I feel,
Increasingly out of my league
I rise, and run,
And resign this poetic run.
^^;;

Sand, sifting freely
through a hand, enjoy it all
while it lasts, today.
Defying logic,
only pain is eternal,
pleasure is fleeting.
(Oh, I’m starting to hate my choice of haiku, lol.)

@Kris-chan:
Hahaha, no need for excuses
Late-night brains have their uses
Or reveal their own breakthroughs
Don’t you agree?
Ahh, I probably concur
With the anime you prefer
Bits and pieces of every flavor
And every tease
I may adore cyberpunk
And forbidden sci-fi love
But more retro steampunk
If you please?
@A20-man:
Ahh, no worries, Aprilius
Your stamina impressed us
Well, by “us”, I mean “me”
That’s pretty easy to see
I look forward to your return
With a fiercer fire to burn
@Jenn-chan:
Hehe, to defy the haiku
Like a courageous otaku
But I must kindly disagree
That pain burns eternally
I’ve experienced my share
Love can be broken or unfair
But the pain eventually fades
Into quite bearable shades
Do you lack a new pleasure?
Or a new joy to treasure?
To wash the scars away?
And embrace the next day?
An uncertain future is upon us
Not too sure what to make of it
I think I’ll manage but I
May have to learn to move on
Enough are fond memories?
((I failed at making a limerick so I stuck with grade-school acrostic ;_; ))
@Coco-chan:
Aww, I doubt there’s harm in attempting and failing
Because building limericks are rather constraining
Flashing like showers
Fragile like flowers
Yet anime memories can be quite sustaining
