I am a big fan of Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time epic fantasy.  Inspired by a post on http://dragonmount.com, I wrote some Wheel of Time haikus.

When the Wolf King rides
wielding hammer, calling wolves,
The Last Battle comes.


From the White Tower
comes the last hope of mankind,
Aes Sedai ride.


Red Hand on banner,
Soldiers and horse line the road,
marching to battle.


Who but the Ogier,
long in life and memory,
remember the Song?

30 years ago, a baby clung to life
with the tenacity of someone never touched
by failure, pain, or fear and it was plain
to all who saw him that this infant would be
something special

20 years ago, a boy dreamed of spaceflight
as a given, the next natural progression
to reach the planets and move beyond the boundries
of his ancestors' existence
The dream shattered with the exploding shuttle
and snuffed the fires of passion with tears
