Haiku are unique like that. Oft they do not have to follow the 5 - 7 - 5 syllable rule and many do not rhyme at all. I as an amateur, can't even begin to grasp the awesomeness of this:
Fair enough still I intend to start posting a poetry-heaven Japanese story soon inspired by Genji, wonder how the poetry in there will compare. I'll have to tag you, if only to get your expertise/view on it.
Now I have to rest my eyes since I'm sick since yesterday. Got the bug last Saturday after one long editing spree without my trusty pair of socks :P I guess coffee juice is magick, but socks are magicker lol
Doesn't rhyme though, and I thought Haiku were supposed to focus around nature in order to describe a human experience.
That said I love the idea of the glistening armour and of the protective knight being described like this.

古池や 蛙飛び込む 水の音
The old pond
A frog leaps in.
Sound of the water.

Thank you, I'd love to read them! If I am expert in something, that would be inspiration itself. I am a master class amateur in everything else :D
Hahahaha fair enough. Maybe I'll post the story next week for Warrior Wednesday, I had thought to post it in Feb but next week might work best.

Go rest buddy, and rest your eyes.
Everyone would be glad to have a knight protector. Good haiku!
Haiku is new to me so I tried my hand....
Slave for the Black Nobs
Unaware, uninformed, un....
Now enraged, ready.
