Upright:
Winning! Victory!
New beginnings, clear thinking.
Mind agility.
Reversed:
A battle of wills.
A lack of intelligence.
Not holding your ground.

I could hear the trumpets ringing out as I read this- for glory! for victory! 
If this card was a character, I’d imagine them leading the charge into battle on a mighty steed. When, Upright, they are a knight in shining armor, a master strategian and hero of the battlefield. Reversed- things don’t go according to plan and the charge smashes like a wave against the rocks.
Two scenarios that can be applied in so many different ways depending on the situation being read. Really beautifully explored, @Amethyst- thanks so much for sharing these haikus!

Better than what I was hearing in my head when I was writing this, I was thinking of Charlie Sheen when he went off the rails screaming Winning! and crap. Very much an Ace of Swords reversed moment. LOL.
Glad you like it!
