A Haiku Conversation and An Invitation

I'm not sure how my mind works some days. Today, as I watched Scooby-Doo with my daughter, I thought it would be interesting to do a conversation between Sir Lancelot and Queen Guinevere in haiku. This is totally out of left field considering that I haven't thought about these Camelot lovers in ages. Muse, thanks for giving me something new to play with today :) I am still on the fence whether this haiku treatment of this subject works, but it was a fun writing exercise for me. I'm also kicking around the idea of turning this into some kind of script for a longer exploration of these characters. Maybe there is something in this sudden inspiration that will keep my writing hand busy for a while. Thanks for reading!

A Whisper in the Grove - a series of haikus

Queen I must breathe here
the willingness to circle
your glance of invite

Knight I dare to risk
the censure of a just King
for a love to build

Queen I need no fame
shackling my expression
of what burns within

Knight I can't hold joy
knowing that it all must end
with a King's cold word
