Description
This isn't my usual haiku
instead I've decided to progress to Tanka (which is the oldest form of japanese poetry 
) The 1st and 3rd line are five syllables whilst the others have a seven syllable count. This took me much longer than my usual works to complete (ahem 4-5 hours including the editing).
Stocks are from:

and yes the original title name and idea progressed from the hunger games though this is my own work and nothing to do with it other than for inspiriational matters
so no it isn't fan art 
hope you guys like it
All critiques would be welcome and appreciated as I would like to know how I should improve and the good points of the work I do
saying that I would prefer constructive critism on my tanka and not the visual side of my work, afterall, I am not an editor (and I know my limitations as one) but I do want to improve on my writing P.s. please do not copy or redistribute without my permission, thank you

wow... almost frightening..
well done. (I'm just brainstorming here, take it or leave it ,) maybe if the text was in a different , more eery font, it would help bring out the dark side even more. make sure it's still readable though~
hope this helps.. !

The picture really compliments the darkness of the poem. That's not to say that the poem wouldn't be good without the pic, because believe me even without it this poem is powerful despite it's briefness. Very nice writing indeed!

Isn't there a poem that katniss used to sing before her father died in The Hunger Games series?
π: 0 β©: 1
yup
i think it's something like this:
'are you, are you coming to the tree,
which once strung a man who say murdered three,
strange things did happen there,
no stranger woud it be,
if we met up at midnight,
in the hanging tree'.
this isn't my version of it as such

Very Nice!
Here is a poem from me to you, because of your nice art:
"Weeping willows whisper wise,
from the form of fallen skys,
broken like the neck he dances,
high above the earth his feed,
through the mist the light now glances,
like hope that he will never meet."

It would be a honor for me to write a poem which you release in one of your pictures... If you like...

I would (your poem was freaking AWESOME) but I don't have the time to edit stuff lately

Just write me a note, if you like and have time for new projects...
I would be fun for me to write a poem for one of your pictures!
And: good luck with your 6th form!

I very much enjoyed this, and I'm really not a fan of poetry, let alone haiku. Thank you.
π: 0 β©: 1

P.s. It's tanka not haiku

Nicely done, I like that strange feel this gives off.
( although that might be my cold )
Anyway, really nicely done. Kind of makes me wonder if i could do something similiar..
I'll better stick to my work
