Haiku

[Enchantment_of_Nyx]

Scent of petrichor:
wet stone, ozone, and dried grass -
the promise of rain

 

[Voboy]

Petrichor

The maze of language.
Discovering a new word,
Always a delight.

 

[Enchantment_of_Nyx]

Such is the reason
the dictionary's sexy
to a logophile.

 

[stickygirl]

The speed of Haiku
Keeping up is a mission
What's today's flavour?

 

[Enchantment_of_Nyx]

Spin the wheel, SG -
nature, science, humor, arts?
Let's choose a new stage.

 

[stickygirl]

This female gaze thing
Isn't easily defined
Worth a look I think

 

[Voboy]

Food as the new stage?

Sharp, thick, sensual,
Flowing molten from the bread:
The grilled cheese awaits.

 

[stickygirl]

Shameless promotion
If I curtsey low enough
Free peeks of my tits

 

[Enchantment_of_Nyx]

Not the opposite,
nor is it the complement -
a thing all its own.

The marks of my teeth
left in the chocolate bar
are scars of love bites.

 

[Voboy]

"Punk Rock Girl" was wrong.
Iced tea: not so bad, really
On a broiling day.

 

[Enchantment_of_Nyx]

My covetous gaze
lingers on the French silk pie,
so cool, smooth and sweet.

 

[Voboy]

Ancient enemies:
French silk for British? Germans?
Something domestic?

 

[stickygirl]

Dense air lies roasted
On beaded skin, sickly still.
Evening colour fades

 

[Voboy]

Shirt sticks to your back
Rising from a sodden couch.
Is anything worse?

 

[stickygirl]

Paperbacks wobble
Rioting words bubble out
Federal hardbacks

 

[Enchantment_of_Nyx]

A bookshelf party?
I'll have the stuff she's having.
Let the words riot!

 

[Voboy]

"Ass like a bookshelf!"
The party runs late. Time to
Liquor on that shelf.

 

[Enchantment_of_Nyx]

The approach of dawn
carries possibility:
new day and clean slate.

 

[AlinaX]

they wash words with paint
burying bright ideas
beneath false colours

 

[Enchantment_of_Nyx]

Nice...


but without the paint
showing the words, how'd we see
just the iceberg's tip?

 

[AlinaX]

we whitewash rainbows
in the name of purity...
we should all be chaste

 

[Enchantment_of_Nyx]

To see the spectrum
it helps to begin
with more than one hue.

 

[Voboy]

Endless hues emerge.
Lines between them blur perforce.
In-betweens matter.

 

[AlinaX]

between black and white
a myriad of dull grey
in a colourscape

 

[Enchantment_of_Nyx]

Black end and white end?
Ends are part of the spectrum.
No black and no white.
