So I started doing Gundam 00 in Haiku. Why? Partially to try to make 
escapistism smile, partially because it's nice to be inspired again.
For this to work, you have to use the pronunciation of "Celestial" with three syllables instead of four (Sell-EST-yal, instead of Sell-EST-ee-all). Also, 00 = "Double-Oh". I was constantly stymied by the long-ass character and place names, BTW. And yes, I sort of take some liberties with what constitutes a "haiku", pretty much only following the 5-7-5 rule. That's how I roll. If I failed in that, DEAL WITH IT! I mean, tell mean and I'll see if I can fix it.
Needless to say, spoilers abound. Although none of these make any goddamn sense unless you've seen G00.
