Ashen hearts today,
daffodils in the garden
smile on Easter morn

This isn't a haiku, but it's the closer I've ever been to one:

A few years later I found it
The thatched roof had fallen in
The furniture was dilapidated

Corruption mars all
But Land's life shall prevail
You need not fail

Summer heat swelters
sun-shafts pierce all pasty flesh
painting light and pain.

This is not specifically about the Land (no sidewalks or lawnmowers as far as I know), but it is a haiku.

cut grass on sidewalk
light green lines of summer spent
stick on her bare feet

Should pay more attention to this thread. Really like the last three, Boosk's, Jerelaks, and DW's. Good stuff folks.

1. The Grieve

Mighty Rockbrothers,
You became that which you hate.
Coercri is your tomb.

2. Koriks fate

Hyrim unheeded,
Three attempt Corruption,
ancient service's ruin.

Revelstone is now besieged

Hyrim turned and said,
"You have known Foamfollower;
I want you to come."

The rape of Lena

He awoke alone
adrift on the Mithil shore.
He lent her his shame.

Caesure
Time wrenches open
untraveled paths branch out as
When and What collide.

A few for Linden:

Trapped within herself
Crying to come up for air
Afraid to be seen.

The little girl died.
Once, then twice, in different deaths.
Can love yet have life?

Silent pressure builds.
Only need's extremity
Can bring her heart forth.

Child's cries and pleas spurned.
Suffocated with hatred.
Redemption of truth.

"There is something in us, as storytellers and as listeners to stories, that demands the redemptive act, that demands that what falls at least be offered the chance to be restored.
The reader of today looks for this motion, and rightly so, but what he has forgotten is the cost of it.

His sense of evil is diluted or lacking altogether, and so he has forgotten the price of restoration.
When he reads a novel, he wants either his sense tormented or his spirits raised..."

Under the Masters
The Land's Need goes Unheeded

All thoughts to her son
Linden threatens time and fate
No tear for the Land

For Ak-Haru

Tattered robes, frail limbs
The highest calling of all?
To guard the One Tree

A Ship of Stone nears
Alas, the Worm, it awakes
White gold calls the stars

A blind man stands fast
To protect the world from death
In loss, victory
