Haiku is a type of short form poetry originally from Japan. Traditional Japanese haiku consist of three phrases that contain a kireji, or "cutting word", (phonetic units similar to syllables) in a 5, 7, 5 pattern and a kigo, or seasonal reference.
There is a major difference in Japanese and English syllables and unfortunately I do not know Japanese. So here is something brand new! Have fun reading some English Haikus which only follow the three line pattern! 🤪 Also, while Japanese Haikus mainly focus on the theme of nature, I have tried writing them on various themes.

The Story Behind the Slipper
We all know the classic story of a girl who lost her glass slipper running away from her dreams, and racing back to her sad reality of being a peasant maid for her own step-mother and step-sisters, the only family she has left. Yes, this is a story based on none other than the character of Cinderella. However...this rendition of telling the tale is quite different. This quick-read is all written in the form of haikus; a form of poetry that is written in a 5/7/5 syllable count. In this story, you learn about the lives these characters really lived behind the scenes of the happily ever after that we all know to be. You'll discover rich amounts of character development from minor characters and learn major mic-drops about the major characters. I hope you enjoy reading and visualizing the lives of various characters and what they may have been thinking throughout this story! I give you...The Story Behind the Slipper... :) ____________________________ *I did not create or invent this princess who we all know and love and who has been around for generations. *I merely wanted to write a rendition of this story in the form of haikus only and I wanted to portray this amazing story in different perspectives of different characters. *Thank you for understanding and I hope whoever reads this enjoys it to the fullest! :)Complete

Sasaki Haise's past, his amalgamation with the CCG and even your very own many formidable relationships with a relentless amount of other Tokyo Ghoul characters such as: Touka, Ayato, Nishiki, Tsukiyama, Yoshimura, Kimi, Uta etc -- shall all be revealed as you start to fall deeper and deeper into the chapters of this book. Expect a lot of sexual humour, secondhand embarrassment, crossovers, blushing, fangirling, squealing, crying, holy water and falling irrevocably in love as you go along. ✄┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈« [ I M P O R T A N T D I S C L A I M E R ] I do not own Tokyo Ghoul nor any of its characters. All places and characters that are mentioned, specific to the actual franchise itself belong to Sui Ishida and Sui Ishida only. Any other characters that are actually mentioned due to certain crossovers, e.g: Sebastian, Ciel, Levi, Usui, Yato etc also do not belong to me either. They clearly belong to their rightful owners. ✄┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈« This book was also inspired by the amazing 'Sasaki-sensei' written by the phenomenal @pineapple-pie here on Wattpad.

"I love you to the tsuki and back." "Lmao, get it?" - This book may be half-baked, but it has allowed me to grow as writer to explore writing styles. I'm not proud of this book but if someone has enjoyed it, it won't be deleted. Fresh starts don't always guarantee positive outcomes, so I'm not starting fresh, this book will never be unpublished unless I decide to rewrite it and republish it to improve my writing. If you read this book, thank you so much for giving 14 year old me chance. I never expected to even reach a reader count of 1K so when it went beyond what I expected, my happiness was also beyond. <3 Regards, College me. P.S. do check out my hopefully better other new book which is about Akaashi Keiji pls and tq. UPDATE 2020 EDITING!!!Complete

I'll kill anyone who tries to take them.Complete
SOULMATES // k. kenma +
"you're not the man i thought you once were, Kenma" "i'm sorry y/n. "don't be sorry. you weren't sorry when you did it." - gone for 4 years after attending college in NYC, you come back home to your boyfriend & friends, though everything is not what it seems. - "++" indicates that another love interest will be involved with y/n if that disinterests you, feel free to click off <3 :) (but not before giving it a try!) - an 'online luv' sequel reading book 1 is entirely optional ! (wouldn't suggest) TW// foul language, sexual themes, manipulation, gaslighting, angst, relationship toxicity. -THIS IS A REMAKE OF A ONCE DELETED BOOK, WITH A SLIGHTLY TWEAKED PLOT- OC involved - NADIA (perfectly likable character) OC involved - AYAKA (antagonist; designed to be unlikeable) full editing of any errors or plot holes will undergo once story is concluded. ENJOY! <3
