AUTHOR NOTES
I wrote this haiku and created the presentation. Dean Kuch and I have decided to write a gothic horror story exclusively in haiku. I'll write a chapter, then he'll follow suit, keeping with the story line. The story is evolving as we go. We don't have a fixed plot. I write each haiku as the muse moves me, and Dean does the same. However, we do follow each other. I follow his new haiku and he follows mine thus our story unfolds. I've never seen or read a book like ours. We're both excited about our unique project. We plan to publish this book of gothic dark haiku when it's finished. Dean and I thank you for following our story. In Romania, circa the 1500s, Mirela wakes up in a cemetery not knowing who she is or how she got there. Character List: -- Mirela, Romanian human female |

Gypsy Blue Rose and I have decided to tell an entire horror story together in this book using only haiku. I'll write a chapter, then she follows suit, keeping with the story line.
As always, thanks so much for reading. Japan has a long history of jisei, or death poems. Jisei is the "farewell poem to life." These poems were written by literate people just before their death. One of the earliest record of jisei dates to 686 CE with the death of Prince Otsu, a poet and the son of Emperor Temmu, who was forced to commit suicide on false charges of promoting a rebellion. Like most haiku, jisei seeks to transcend thought and create an "Ah, now I see" moment. Jisei strives to connect the reader with the poet's mind just as they are poised at the end. Haiku tries to remove our dualistic ways of thinking, the division between beauty and ugliness, life and death, future and present. |

Sometimes, we put ourselves through hell while trying to find heaven. More often than not, however, heaven can be found no further away than in our own back yard.
Basho deathbed haiku: Although he did not compose any formal death poem on his deathbed, the last poem written by the great poet Matsuo Basho (1644-1694) recorded by his disciple Takarai Kikaku during his final illness is generally accepted as his poem of farewell: Tabi ni yande yume wa kareno o kakemeguru Falling ill on a journey my dreams go wandering over withered fields ~Matsuo Basho As always, thanks for reading... japanese death bed haiku poetry |

Inside the castle, a two-hundred-year-old vampire named Claudiu sensed Mirela's presence. He searched the castle's underground tunnels until he found her. Mirela was guided to the castle by an unknown force. Claudius sensed Mirela's presence and searched for her until he found her roaming in his castle's tunnels. As a vampire, Claudius was guided by his extraordinary sense of smell. In my haiku, the words REMINISCENT SCENT mean that he remembered Mirela from his past., and not ''just'' a smell, ''HER'' smell. TORRID means hot, as used in a hot desert. It stands in contrast to the word 'WINTER'. I mean a passionate affair in winter.

We are thrilled to be bringing here to you, all of the fine authors and poets on FanStory, for your critique and review. Both Gypsy and myself thank all of you for following our story. We can't wait to see where Claudiu and Mirela will take us next. Our sincerest hope is that you will decide to come along with us. After all, it gets lonely here in the dark, heh-heh.

If you have not followed our book, the meaning of this haiku is the culmination of a love triangle between two brothers, Claudiu and Varcolac, and the woman they both love, our protagonist Mirela. Claudiu wins Mirela and Varcolac is banished from Bran Castle, thus Claudiu takes all the love and adoration of Mirela. Thank you to all our fans who have followed Mirela's tale of terror, there is more to come ... Look for, "Hora Haiku: a gothic terror tale by Dean Kuch and Gypsy Blue Rose. Dean Kuch and I decided to write a gothic horror story using horror haiku. Seeing how well it was received on FanStory, we decided to publish book one and begin book two next week. We hope you will continue to read the adventures of Mirela and Claudiu.
