Haiku

[AlinaX]

the burst of juices
flooding my mouth with pleasure
cherry on the top

 

[sallysparrow23]

My trust in you fell
Like a tree struck in a storm
Severing it's roots

 

[sallysparrow23]

Screen protector cracked
Damn, it's right down the center
How inconvenient

 

[Jackie.Hikaru]

Wind howls in my ear
and stings my cheeks with pinpricks
but the view is nice.

 

[Bamagan]

Wind howls in my ear
and stings my cheeks with pinpricks
but the view is nice.

I know it sounds crude
But that sounds like a facial
From Great Wendigo

 

[Voboy]

I know her too well:
Her shape, both inside and out.
She moves on. I mourn.

 

[Jackie.Hikaru]

Date palm explodes
Sending doves into the sky.
The desert wind yawns.

 

[DeepInstinct]

Sitting in the sun
Gloriously naked. Come
Join me in worship

 

[Jackie.Hikaru]

dewdrops from the sky,
that seem to me like stars,
fall to wash your cheeks

- A very rough translation to haiku form of one of my all time favorite love songs,
La Gota de Rocío by Silvio Rodríguez

 

[DeepInstinct]

Being here with you
Crafting images in verse
Effervescent fun

 

[Jackie.Hikaru]

bird swoops low to skim
the cloud-mirrored sea, cooling
her dog-tired wings.

 

[AlinaX]

what if
there were hope
after all

 

[Bamagan]

Worried you should call
the anxiety hotline?
Well then, yes, you should.

 

[sallysparrow23]

Walking through a mist
It's as if I've disappeared
Shrouded murky white

 

[AnaDarkling]

Sage and pistachio
Softly muted by droplets
Blanketing the air
Kiss my hair with dewy lips
And sing me across the veil

 

[Jackie.Hikaru]

Beneath dead leaves tinged
by the shadow of an owl,
a mouse eats a nut.

 

[Bamagan]

Beneath dead leaves tinged
by the shadow of an owl,
a mouse eats a nut.

Not a criticism, but it's funny how some people will pronounce 'owl' with two syllables. I have a bit of a drawl, myself, so it comes out sounding like 'ow-el' or 'ow-uhl' or something. Anyway...

On a scraggly branch
shivering from soft lynx paws
An owl eats a mouse

 

[AlinaX]

hissing in the ears
the serpent of fate has scales
that measure not

 

[Jackie.Hikaru]

Cranky old man lives
off the grid. He spends his days
smoking Newport Golds.

 

[Bamagan]

Some cranky old men
Live inside the grid of threads
Are we their lawns now?

 

[Jackie.Hikaru]

They yell at the clouds
Fist waving. Hilarious.
Butter on popcorn.

 

[DeepInstinct]

Light shines through the door
A candle, book light, a phone?
I prefer darkness

 

[Jackie.Hikaru]

Light shines through the door
A candle, book light, a phone?
I prefer darkness

Light shines through the door.
Roommate watching porn again.
I prefer darkness too.

 

[Jackie.Hikaru]

man rides bicycle
On the right side of traffic.
Big rig makes him fall.

 

[DeepInstinct]

Enjoying nature
A field of flowers begs
Take us in! Gaze. Breathe.
