Benny Haiku: A Japanese Recipe for Poetry

[chris2c4u]

Daffodils dance, swayed
By zephyrs haunted by cold:
Winter smiles at Spring

 

[chris2c4u]

Herons stand amidst
Treetops, the island of nests,
Riding through the sky.

 

[chris2c4u]

Summer opens, no
Coy mistress she; caressed by
Blooms, her time's begun

 

[Maid of Marvels]

Whispers of dreamtime...
Let's be someone else tonight.
I've got the tickets. ​

 

[chris2c4u]

To Paris? Let's go
On the pont neuf we will kiss
Strangers, caught in bliss.

 

[Maid of Marvels]

New Orleans - next spring.
I'll dunk begnettes in coffee
While you hide your face.

 

[chris2c4u]

We'll be famous then,
You can't do that sort of thing,
Nibble sedately.

 

[Maid of Marvels]

We move together
Lips almost touching. Hurry!
Slurp the spaghetti!

 

[Safefunguy]

Spaghetti Dinner
A novel for consumption?
Full of twists and turns

 

[chris2c4u]

When you decide that
You're not the centre of the
Universe, tell me.

 

[chris2c4u]

Apples fall to earth
Betrayed by harsh gravity
Into autumn's dance.

 

[chris2c4u]

Summer's rain washed a
Watercolour memory:
A bee sipped nectar.

 

[MissMeek]

Chris, the lone writer,
Talks to himself in haiku.
Is no-one else here?

 

[NickisSora]

Two hearts upon a rock
a light will mend them complete
kiss to have them meet

 

[NickisSora]

a soul a shadow no
a hero a villian a civilian no
you are you thats all

 

[NickisSora]

broken down inside
No heart can heal this boys time
love others i am lost

 

[chris2c4u]

Clouds weep November
Tears to fill ghostly trenches
Dug in memories.

 

[Maid of Marvels]

Why "lost in the war"
When they haven't been misplaced
Shh! Hear their voices?

 

[chris2c4u]

Thomas heard them call
For their mothers as they fell
Into history

 

[Maid of Marvels]

Can you taste the grief?
Tears, in the back of your throat.
Please, don't forget us.

 

[NickisSora]

many a day a like
many a night i do enjoy
life is my anti drug

 

[chris2c4u]

Horizontal snow
Haunted the edges of Wales.
Merlin's fingerprint.

 

[chris2c4u]

Weather vacillates
Becoming unexpected
Showers of goslings.

Hi Maid of Marvels

Intimate designs
Traced slowly, sensuously
Caress parted thighs.​

I love Haikus. Thanks for the collection.
Here is one from me >>>
My hungry lips
Your nipples
Cherries in Bloom.

 

[chris2c4u]

Discarded: autumn
Underfoot, bleeding summer
Dry as memory.
