OCC: I do have some more serious stuff in the aftermath of David's departure planned but in the meantime, here's a set of Haikus – a form of writing I have recently experimented with to – with one for EVERY episode of Russell T. Davies' era of Who. Can I sum each episode up in three lines and seventeen syllables? One can but try! It's been a wild ride these past five years and a most enjoyable one, so I hope you enjoy this budding Japanese Poet's guide to New Who!

Quick note: Thanks as with several fics for the Doctor Who Transcripts Site, incredibly useful when you've forgotten something the blue alien said in Episode Sixteen which might be important.

I fancy some chips.

Those words are following you.
Always moving on.

Viewing figures just went up.
He'll save Rose Tyler.

A girl killed a God.
Absolutely Fantastic.
Ah, Barcelona!

I am the Doctor -
Ha, let's break the time limit!
Please don't leave me Rose.

With a Satsuma,
The Doctor beats the Monsters.
No second chances.

OCC: Let me know what you thought of each one in reviews. There's three chapters to go in any case, but for now I hope you've enjoyed the ones for New Who's First Year! :)
