I sometimes (rarely) make two versions of one haiku.
I have an example you may enjoy. The first version
came to mind 'cause my brother used to play a game
called "Castlevania" in which you fight Dracula. There
is one particular line in the game that is quite
memorable, one of Dracula's wives attempts to attack
you while saying "Come to me , Harker, my love
& I shall taste your flesh." Version two was created to
be less... I'll say disturbing for lack of a better word.

(version 1)
You make me hungry.
I think I'll have dessert now,
let me taste your flesh.

(version 2)
You make me want you.
I've lost my self control now,
let me taste your lips.

Well, that was Bram Stoker's Dracula for the Sega CDX.
And if you used the attack that was recommended for 'Lucy', she ate you.
So when playing the game, I had to kick her to death.
Cripes Harker looked so ridiculous high kicking like a ballerina...
In The Super Nintendo version there was the bridge we couldn't cross, and in Castlevania we got our butts handed to us.
By a bunch of fluttering bats...

Coooool haikus!

I like version one.....guess that's the vampire lover in me. hehe! I looooove vampire movies and stories, always have.

I haven't played any games but "Castlevania" sounds like it could be fun.
