i burn
out (Nonet)
eyes on his palms, he puts his hands up
he sees me run, not walk away
his love feels the same as pain
black alchemy that kills
so that i may give
the phoenix rise
inside me
i burn
out

Haikuplet Winners!
Before we get to the winners, I want to give a HUGE shout out to everyone who participated in this unofficial challenge. I had 25 entries to read, and all were wonderful! Think of all the community involvement with 25 different Haikuplets! Thanks to all of you, I thought this challenge was a smashing success.
