Haiku attempt/KLBC




This is an attempt (my first, actually) at Klingon Haiku:

ghol 'Iw tay'moHlu'
Suvchu'taHvIS SuvwI'pu'
juppu' moj jaghpu'

A loose English translation:
The blood of foes mix
In a battle to the death
Foes turn into friends

The imagery that I am trying to evoke is that when
warriors fight, they are spilling blood on each other, even
between friends and enemies.  Of course, only friends mix
their blood, for example when taking a blood oath.  Thus,
when warriors fight, enemies become friends.
