This haiku is the longest one I've written. It could be better, please give me some constructive criticism. I worked really hard on it. Oh! It's about a samurai who fights through out the night and meets a sad fate...

Sliver is the moon

Stained is the ground below

Darkened is the night

Katana in hand

She will defend her homeland

Fighting for honor

The stream will sing

As the old bamboo whispers

The white flag is torn

For her pride will win

Samurai will stand tonight

And defend Japan

Dancing gracefully

They still end up on the ground

The cherry blossoms

A graceful dance is

On the battlefield tonight

It is a facade

For Samurai

Swings her blade viciously

Striking down the evil

Painted with orange

The sunrise and day begin

Samurai is none...
