Hi,

Since this was a school project, brought to life only out of coercion, you know that these aren't going to be very good. I thought I'd share them anyway:

In the Face of Death

A grand forest burns;
Escape is impossible.
The Grey Tree stands still

Pour Toi, Marie

I now see the beach,
Breath of life in breathlessness:
Now it means nothing

Demain, Je Partirai Ce Monde

Glances North towards Death:
A revolution once more.
Crimson pardons life

La Mort Qui Danse

Ah! The laughs of crowd!
Bring joy to unseen demise.
Sacrificial death

And Now, Out of Prison

We bow on horseback;
I adore my dear lady.
Mind like floating cloud.

They're all in classical haiku form (without the natural imagery) and based off of the evolution of the character Mersault in The Stranger by Albert Camus. Laugh at them, steal them, whatever... I don't really like them.
