Original: Outnumbered (2010)



Totally forgot to post yesterday, so here's a belated poem before I continue with your regularly-scheduled Marvelous Wednesday.  Sweet and sweet.  (Yes, I know I'm accompanying a haiku with a picture of a Chinese character - Guan Yu from Red Cliff - but I tried every variation on a "surrounded by enemies" Google Image search I could think of and nothing interesting came up.  Plus, it's too perfect.

Outnumbered

Hungry for my bones,
The foes closing in on me
Won’t know what hit them.
