Okay. I've been neglecting the fandom. Frankly, I've been neglecting everything lately. But my children are still alive and happy, so I guess that's my job done.
But a few days ago something must have happened to my brain (maybe I snapped from all the stress), and I've been spouting poetry ever since, mostly haiku poems. And, yes, I know that haiku poems are incredibly pretentious, and actually, these aren't real haiku poems because haiku poems are usually about nature and they're supposed to juxtapose two subjects together, but... I'm rambling.
Anyway! Here are a series of poems that follow the 5-7-5 syllable structures. Call them what you will.
The Radio Man
I cannot go out
I stay down in dark tunnels
I question my worth
My comrades return
Pumped full of adrenaline
I watch with envy
I listen to plans
And know I will not be there
To see them blossom
The radio calls
Relaying information
That will lead to death
It's dangerous out there
Not always for saboteurs
Innocents today
Defeated shoulders
Slump in shame as they return
Nightmares lurk behind
Injure my body
Not one word I will complain
I cherish my mind
I see the machine
And I am grateful for it
For it protects me
