old dragon
slayer stares at the moon and counts
falling scales

Love the falling scales — yes, a story in a haiku!!! It feels like it’s as much a fairy tale as astrology / astronomy. 🙂
And wow … I haven’t heard this song in ages. 🙂

And it was time for some retro electro!
Yeah … here’s to retro electro! 😉
Definitely feeling the Japanese folk tale here — I really like this one. 🙂
Nice fairy tale in three lines!
