Harry/Draco haiku

enchanted_jae just made a comm for Potter poetry: poetic_hp. I made the inaugural post! :d No fake-cuts, in honour of it being first post, but I'm still posting here.

Harry/Draco haiku

I like him angry;
He pounds me into the ground.
(Yes, I mean that way)

It’s deliberate.
It still works. I bite him – not
A good punishment.

~*~

Molly Weasley knows
All I did. But fucking him still
Makes her like me less.

Narcissa likes me –
I protect him. As for Lucius...
Let’s not discuss it.

~*~

I tried poetry –
‘I love you’ in person is hard.
But I tore it up.

He doesn’t say it.
I don’t care. Sometimes I do.
I think he can tell.

~*~

I got a tattoo.
‘Harry’. No regret. I put it
Over my other Mark.

He got a tattoo.
I’m shocked, but at least this one
Can be worn with pride.

This is wonderful! The progression is just right and I like how the alternating viewpoints don't become apparent until the end. Haikus are not often used so well. Great job!

Thank you so much! I'm very flattered.
