Haikus

Alone in my room
thinking about my sad life
I became a bug

Beatrice with love
sent Virgil to guide Dante
through the Gate of Hell

Othello the Moor
he married Desdemona
became a killer

I, Ugolino
betrayed by Ruggeri
now I chew on him

Three Beasts of Dark Woods
can't stop my epic journey
For I have Virgil

  2. Good Haikus Bo.

    Here are some i made for Dante.

    I pity them all
    I'm overwhelmed at the sight
    I think i may pass....
    (he passes out)

    Who is this strange guy?
    He says his name is Virgil.
    Should I follow him?

    I recognize him
    I knew him from Italy
    Now he burns in Hell.

    I keep my eyes closed
    If i open them I'm doomed
    I'll be turned to stone

    As we cross the Styx
    I keep seeing drowning souls
    I can't end up here

    What a strange creature
    We ride from seven to eight
    His name is Geryon
    (I'm pretty sure its Geryon is pronounced with 2 syllables)
