Title: Prisons without keys
Fandom: Vorkosigan saga
Rating: G
Length: 41 words (4 haiku)
Author notes: I know there's (a lot) more to haiku than the "5-7-5 syllables" rule which is all this follows, so maybe it's not entirely accurate to call them haiku, but it just seemed to write itself in this format.
Summary: Miles reflects on the things that bind him.

This twisted body
Bones so easily shattered
A life-long sentence

Archaic title
Handed down generations
Inescapable

Vorkosigan word
The most binding of shackles
Willingly entered

Locked in my prisons -
cards I was dealt to win with -
Prisons without keys

I like this a lot. I'm in the middle of a series re-read and I just finished Memory last night. Your poem seems perfectly suited to follow it. Cool.

Thank you! I'm still working my way through the series (and it is being bad for me, I keep reading until ridiculous hours of the morning!), and haven't reached that far actually - I wrote this while reading The Vor Game, and have just finished Cetaganda - but Miles is definitely living in my brain at the moment.
