Especially the Chinese being called sods.:p :D

In the heat of Kansai's June
An update's being born.

I somehow managed to delete last 4 years, so I had to replay with different results... I am so sorry, so sorry, readers-sama :) *bows to the screen, looking mightlily embarassed*
 
1438 - 1483

Enough of warring:
each samurai is a world.
Countless worlds are dead.

Gifts go to China;
Japanese girls go make love
to Kings of Asia.

Enthralled, Kings submit:
Dai Viet, Manchu, Korea
vassalised by us.

Sad: sword is lesser
in achieving submission
than charms of women.

Girls are effective
in expanding the borders:
Kings're romantics, too.

While revolts rage on
let us paint the Earth bright red:
autumn leaves' colour.

Small annexing spree:
Dai Viet, Manchu, Korea
join the Empire.

More revolts abroad?
And at home? I lie awake
admiring crisp stars.

Souls of the rebels
must be up there, reflecting
on how much they've lost.


Japan in 1483, after the first annexations:

I was looking at
the map, and it seems Russian
for Shanghai is Y?

Elighten Gajin
this ignorant Texan man
I no more Hiku.
 
We're about to start a battle that will make the Clash of the Titans (no not, CraigAshley's AAR) look like a fantasy movie, and you want GdM to write haiku's? :p
 
*pokes dead AAR thread with a stick*

Haiku in English:
creaking chalk, great sacrilege
still very nice though

Wandering alone
the streets, empty, forests waning
a stray autmn wind

Pebble disturbs pool
waves of thought reach a sad soul
is this.. abandoned?
 
Good to hear you are going to update again Sasha and this is a really artistic AAR indeed, what about the “Mat of the eagle” is it dead or :)
