Title: I'm Not Good With Words
Fandom: Lost
Characters/Pairing: Sawyer/Sayid
Rating: PG
Word Count: 84

Summary: A haiku from Sawyer's perspective.
Disclaimer: I don't own Lost. At all.
Author's Notes: For haldoor, who requested Sawyer/Sayid and poetry, specifically haikus, at lostsquee's 2009 Luau. I've never written Sawyer/Sayid before and I have no idea where this came from, but I think it turned out alright, and I attribute that to your wonderful prompt, haldoor! I hope you like it!

_________________________________

I'm not good with words;
It's easier using fists.
But I tried to talk.

Sayid's attention,
That is what I tried to get.
It worked, in a way.

I can tell he's smart.
A different type from me.
That's what intrigues me.

Sayid is the first
to extend an olive branch.
I want to take it.

But I know I can't,
Because deep down I know that
I need to stay smart.

Because Sayid's smart.
A different type from me.
That's what intrigues me.

Poetry I don't get, I wish I did, and I only really vaguely get haiku's, but this makes perfect sense!!! So extra kudos for you :)

Oh holy shite, that's amazing! Perfect haiku, with the proper meter and everything ~ and imparting deep insight into Sawyer's attraction to Sayid. How appropriate, putting haiku in the hands of the island's Word Man.

Brava! Encore!! Do it again!!!

Wow.
I am amazed.
Poetry never drew me in much before... but this is fantastic.
You've got some wonderful talent for haiku.
