Ages ago, life
was breathed into stone; he seeks
the timeless reward.
In darkened halls an
evil lurks; sweet child, dare not
look it in the eye.
And even on the
brightest eves take heed, beware
the night’s palest face.
In the wake of death
there is rebirth, though hardly
in equal measure.
The future foretold
is valuable but must be
bought through sacrifice.
We know there is strength
in numbers, the enemy
is informed as well.
Peace has high costs, paid
gladly for the greater good;
friendship conquers all.

Butterfly Sundae
Mr. Dipple runs the ice cream shop a few blocks from the school. I like going there because the words and flavors mash up in weird ways. The word strawberry tastes like peaches; chocolate is cashews; pistachio is vanilla, and vanilla is oddly floral. It’s like getting a double scoop for the price of a single.
Mr. Dipple tastes like butterscotch. I like that, because butterscotch is the same color as his mustache and the stripes underneath his apron. He’s Oliver’s grandfather, so that’s where he took me. Out, I mean. Like, not really a date, but kind of a date, you know? No hand holding or anything, but he did open the

Tasting Butterflies
There’s a boy in my class whose name I can’t taste.
I mean, I can taste it, but I don’t know what it is. His name is Oliver. His name is smooth, kinda buttery almost, but that’s not it. It’s sweet and thick, like a syrup. I’ve never been able to not place a taste before.
I know the flavors of the rest of my classmates. Kat is wafers and chocolate; Melissa is dust and honey; Irving is grainy Parmesan; Ally is hot dogs and pickles. Every name has an essence on my tongue and I can name them all. Even the teacher, Ms. Fleming, has a flavor – spearmint toothpaste.
Oliver has hair like the taste of his n

Synesthetic
Sometimes I taste test names;
Anita – sharp citrus
and lemongrass
for the ann-i,
a tortilla for the taa.
Brad – I like
its weight; a slab
of marbled chocolate
melted on my tongue
before the last letter.
Charlotte – something
savory, but sweet; pork
marinated in honey
on sweet rolls.
Doug – vanilla
tinged cheesecake;
a dusting of graham
cracker shavings;
an Oreo with no filling.
Elena – spice
and heat radiate –
eh-layne-ahh – a corona
bursting from
the second e.
Fletcher – it’s syllables
mesh like mashed
potatoes, lumpy yet
consistent.
Gladys – dried
lemons and stale

EDIT: We have a winner! Supach has guessed the link; each haiku stands for one of the seven Harry Potter novels! To reward her strong wit you should check out her gallery 
Thank you all for participating 
I hope the collection makes a bit more sense now that you know the uniting element.
I think the first three and number seven are pretty self explanatory.
4. 'In the wake of death there is rebirth' refers to Voldemort's rising after Cedric's death.
5. 'The future foretold...bought through sacrifice' refers to the battle for Trelawney's prophesy and Sirius' death.
6. 'strength in numbers...the enemy is informed as well' refers to Voldemort's use of, not one, but sever horcruxes.

These 7 haiku are tied together by a single link - a word or phrase. The first person to guess the link correctly will receive a small point reward(we'll say 5 points for now) and the ability to title this piece, if they so choose. Please comment your guesses below, good luck!

I've upped the prize, this may be harder than I thought: Winner receives 15 points and the opportunity to title the piece.
