Firefly in Haiku by zorprime01

A piece of fei-oo?
Just a plain object in space?
No, Serenity

Pretty mechanic
Doctor with a crazy sis
You mean to say.. sex?

Inara's new guest
Gosh.. they look so glamorous
I'll be in my bunk

From the losing side of war

grief:
How to say never?
We'll never see home again.
No second season.

lust:
Forever in an
instant - freeze frame on Nathan
- I don't move, don't breathe

(of course i'm young and beautiful. of course i am. really.)

No place I can be
Since I found Serenity
Can't take sky from me

RELFEXIVE

Tis an idea that
Almost seems stolen. But go
Ahead and have fun!

"My God - you're like a trained ape. Without the training."
"Come a day there won't be room for naughty men like us to slip about at all..."
"SUMMER!!"

Our sea-tides are wild!

Why does she want to
leave Firefly now? How can she
leave her family?

native speakers please pardon errors.)

Whose horse is this? Did

Someone is missing.

He's playing Halo
in Nathan's trailer. Sweetheart,
go get him right now.

How many Reavers

lightbulb? None survived.

How many BlueHands

Hey there OLDFOGEY
Little help with your Haikus
Must keep the rhythm

Ain't hard to explain
He's the Hero of Canton
The man they call Jayne

Kaywinnit Lee Frye
She wears her heart on her sleeve
and bear on her pants

Cap'n Mal Reynolds
Puts his crew before his self
Never stops flying

Firefly Episodes in Haiku

Our Mrs Reynolds:

What's that? I'm married?
Jayne, how drunk was I last night?
Oh, shit! This girl's nut!

Out of Gas:

Look at my new ship!
This thing is a death trap, sir.
It's freedom; you'll see.

Trash:

Oh, shit, my wife's back!
"Take the job." "Don't trust her, sir."
Oh, no, not again!

War Stories:

You always go with!
Fine, have it your own way, then.
Ouch! Zoe was right.

Shindig:

Here are your invites
This is my kind of party
I got stabbed right here\

Jaynestown:

That's some creepy art
Welcome back Jayne! We love you!
I ain't no hero

Objects in Space (good one for poetry)

It's just an object
It doesn't mean what you think
It's very crowded!

Strains the mind a bit
Maybe came down the chimney
Give you a present

A bounty hunter?
Not really. Then what are you?
A bounty hunter.

Look at River's feet
They are the story tellers
Joss is such a boob

I did Wash above so here are a few more of the crew... still working on the rest...

Hero of Canton,
And you lot can't change that by
gettin' all... bendy

No pow'r in the 'verse
Keep her from bein' cheerful:
Sweet little Kaylee

Not just a good man,
Nor okay. A great man, but
Bad. (in the Latin)

This one doesn't quite fit because it strays into the real world, so I'll keep working on a "proper" one for her. Then again, I guess it's appropriate that the River one ain't quite right...

River -- Summer Glau --
Your name is good for Haiku:
Seasonal word, see.

River's craaazzzzyyy...
Oops, not enough syllables
in first line. SUMMER!!!

Seems like "meta-river" haikus are much easier to write than coming up with a real one ;)

Some of these were posted above but the crew's a family, and family belongs together...

Don't curse sudden but
Inevitable demise:
Leaf on wind still soars

No pow'r in the 'verse
Keep her from bein' cheerful --
Ooh! Synchronizers!

Hero of Canton,
And you lot can't change that by
Gettin' all... bendy

Not just a good man,
Nor okay. A great man, but
bad. (in the Latin)

Heathens aplenty,
Bible broken, too much hair:
That's not a shepherd.

Functions like a girl,
But then -- apple bits -- chaos --
Threw up on your bed.

To ends of the 'verse,
Follow beloved captain
But why? Not _his_ wife...

Sure, I use curse words
When appropriate... Hero?
Jayne? Son of a bitch!

Don't call her a whore:
She makes an honest living.
Term is "companion".

RIVER

I see them reach out
the hands of blue, two by two
rubbery meddle

BOOK

not with extenders
have I seen a ship like this
worth how I got here

BIG SHIP

Fireflies have nooks
for hiding grade A foodstuffs
for hiding big faith

Sometimes counting is hard.
S'posed to contain reference to seasons too, but what if there's not really any seasons where you live? I made this one about Los Angeles:

Morning gridlock. All
My options involve waiting
For others to move.

...so, what's L.A. got to do with Firefly? um,
"You live in a spaceship, dear."
