Haha. I like this . . . because I'm a nerd and love that joke XD

However, can't give you much credit as the writer here, since you just took out some connecting words. Ah well, it's funny.

You have a very nice collection of haiku here. I thoroughly enjoyed reading them :)

I like the second line. The cacophonous words really create the sound you're trying to explain.

And again, I like this because it's so relatable.

Ah, the angst.

I like this because it's very relatable. I'm sure everyone on this site knows exactly what you're talking about.

I think the comma in the second line should be a period since it's the end of a sentence. No other objections to this one, though.

I like how this sounds almost Shakespearean. That makes me happy, since I'm in a Shakespeare play right now and it's amazing! (sorry, sleep deprivation here).

I didn't like the first linebreak because it felt awkward in the middle of a phrase.

I like the first line because it was sort of an introduction to the others.

I thought the word "best" sounded weird. "For good" is more commonly said, but I guess that would create syllable count issues :/

The word "vast" is interestin to use in a haiku. It kind of creates the idea of saying so much in so little.

I like the phrase "tampered in the forge" because it's creative.

I think you're fine posting it here. I mean, the Zelda creaters don't have a copyright on the concept of courage, do they? Besides, fanpoetry is so underappreciated on that site T_T

I like your first line. I found the phrasing interesting.

I also like the break in the middle of the second line. It created a nice transition point.

I like the meaning of this. It's very true (no pun intended).

I also like the first line because of the alliteration.

I like the way you ended it because it leaves a strong impression on the reader.

I didn't particularly like the first line break. It broke up the second phrase and it took me a moment to figure out the meaning.

I like the word you started with. It just kind of caught my attnention, though now I'm not quite sure why ^^;

I also like how you described the truth as being hidden. It took the idea of confusion to an interesting new level.

I like how you described the flame as "fragile." That's an interesting way to look at it that you don't often see in poetry.

I also like the second line. The personification is very interesting.

Haha. I love this. It's simple and funny.

I also like the friendly, conversational tone. It makes this very relatable.

Wow these are so good, i can really relate to them. You've inspired me to go practice my own haiku-writing skills...though i don't think they'll be as good as yours.

Finally! I found the haiku that describes my life! Thank you for completing my journey to find the perfect haiku. I am not japanese either; however, i love writing haikus. Obviously, you share my love of writing haikus. When did you start writing haikus?? Have you ever met a Japanese person?
Please note that I gave you the incorrect email last time, so this is the one I currently use.
