20 Monme
Shades disguise cold eyes
A smoking cigar cherry
Burns oxygen still
Yakuza don't stop.
'But sir, you forget your girl!'
'The dew ebbs from her lotus.'
More of a test really. It it gets crap response, I won't expand the story with the haiku style.
Good enough for me, I will try to retain its brief show not tell spirit, in haiku form, with plenty of looks from meaningful birds, petals dropping, blood dripping, and close-ups till the whole frame is filled with an eye. Oh wait, that's anime. Don't worry, I've already got an idea lined up for this... 7 Samurai in Space! Kurosawa is sure to applaud my bravery and vision!
