Haiku Anime Review

Returning color,
Family love contrasting
Alarming pastry.

On a rainy day,
Good intent reopens wounds
That have yet to heal.

A few obstacles
Do not succeed in daunting
The earnest seekers.

A sea of starfish
Crossing the gulf of silence
To bring her words home.

Trying, but in vain,
To reunite; the sisters’
Promised festival.

Redoubled efforts
Producing the opposite
Of Fuko’s wishes.

Fading memories,
Erased from the outside in,
Leaving only two.

Celebratory joy
Wavering like candlelight,
Yet still shining through.

Coaxing the recluse
From her familiar shell
To walk paths unknown.

Strings of destruction
Played to disastrous effect
Only strengthen their bond.

Buried memories
And a friend’s uncertain fate
Reveal painful truths.
