A Fantasy Trilogy in Haiku
I was moving right along on my Flash Fiction Fantasy Trilogy in Three Paragraphs, in fact had done two and half of them, but suddenly wanted even more brevity, so I decided to try it in Haiku.
I. The Quest
Approaching manhood,
orphan is told by fairy
he must seek a sword.
II. The Sword
Villain with horns is
defeated, but wait, there is
yet more. A princess.
III. The King
Crushes usurper;
fights with, then marries princess.
Takes his rightful place.
Epilogue
Movie rights; X-box
games aplenty. We all await
the action figures.
Don't get me wrong - I love fantasy trilogies!
