Haiku for lovers....

[ampoule]

I posted these here because I don't think it's really a game. However, if anyone else would like to add their own, please do. Of course, if it turns out that way, that's okay. I'm using the 17 syllables in three metrical lines, 5-7-5.
I hope it will stay 'appropriate' for our forum.

To fully enjoy, read each line, then pause, reflecting on the images. Then meld them into a single thought, creating the scene before your eyes.


Quencher
Bird swallows water
Her hips ahead of his taste
Rise, RISE, trickle down


Deliquescence
Frozen by his stare
Her name drowning on his tongue
Bergs plunge to the sea


Polly Nation
Pistils and stamens
Spring fever feels delightful
Spent and satisfied

[firefangled]

The Calm
Blue Heron watches
still pools like a lovers eyes
anticipating

The Air
Sultry day presses,
breathing rises, all is still,
the falling leaves pause

Storm
Blue Heron plunges
ripples start, the wind, lightning,
weightlessness of wings

submitted twice. me fault. :(

[jon1jt]

Men Love Nature, Women Love Men
What if war was the
longing for touch. To live by
consensus of one?

Inhabitants of bodies (on a deck) far from home
She leans into the
fresh stout on my breath, naked.
"Are you shy?" she asks.

(Me?!)

I learn tenderness
Her belly laugh /eyes.
To slip into her accent.
How affected I am

[ampoule]

Fire, Jon, those are wonderful.

[firefangled]

Very well done yourself, Amp. And thank you for beginning this thread.

[firefangled]

Sun
What hides in the ice
knows time well and is reborn,
so too all things melt

Moon
Lovers pass in time,
on crowded streets, but in dreams
reflection finds them

Stars
Often they are gone,
the light has moved beyond sight,
star-crossed lovers meet

[ampoule]

Nesting
Red hawk on the edge
Falls forward and then lies back
Her feathers twitching

[firefangled]

Trees
Were two long ago,
branches embrace in a dance
one dips low, she laughs

[Il Penseroso]

These are all great. Well done Amp, Fire, and jon.

[ampoule]

Cleave
The leaf grips the branch
She wants to stay there always
Little bud waiting

[firefangled]

Nest
Your long hair I cut,
reluctantly yesterday,
birds weaving a nest

[firefangled]

Wind
March wind wakes new buds
both lamb and lion make them
open their perfume

[PrinceMyshkin]

New Old

New love shakes the heart
old love rejuvenates it
the song bursts out fresh

[firefangled]

Touch
The Orchid at night,
the vine reaches for the tree.
Warm, the lovers hand.

Skin
The surface trembles,
the mountains rise from the land,
below this fire moves

[TheFifthElement]

Mind
Stone-broken surface -
concentric circles ripple
towards bulrushes.

Body
Rain and pond waters
inter-mingling, becoming
inseparable.

Spirit
A heron in flight.
Through sunlight its wings create
long-fingered shadows.

[TheFifthElement]

Togetherness
Two people standing
hand in hand beneath a vast
meteoric sky

[firefangled]

Soil
Rain and wind harden
the soil, yet gentle fingers
make it soft again.

The Gardener
The gardener waits,
when the full moon moves the earth
where rock is melting.

[mazHur]

who will quench my thirst?
where can I get elixir
of love that you have

[ampoule]

Flying Lessons
Swallow waits for her
Take me above the treetops
Let us coast backwards

[firefangled]

Evening Song
This night, this moonlight
has no part of days, this kiss
is never ending

[firefangled]

Dream Bodies
The lover in dreams,
a single touch, twice you sigh,
wake and sigh again

[firefangled]

Iris Petals
Winter’s robe is off,
Fall’s lingerie, Sweet Flower!
And I, breathless bee.


Oswego
Dancing in sunlight,
your reds, deepest violet,
the bees are helpless.

[ampoule]

Shelter
The wind is biting
It blows against the window
The cat sighs and purrs.

[TheFifthElement]

Sunshine
The night can't reach me
in your arms. I awake to
glorious sunshine.

[TheFifthElement]

Stars
The stars wink at you
and I as we kiss in sight
of their prying eyes.

[mazHur]

Who will
Shelter my Heart
That ceases to be Mine
Regurgitates your Religion
Your Name.

[TheFifthElement]

Maz - I think that's a cinquain ;)

[mazHur]

Ooops ! you are right !

Who'll Shelter my Heart
That has now ceased to be Mine
and usurped by You.


I hope this will serve the purpose.
Chow !

[ampoule]

I hope this will serve the purpose.
Chow !

maz maz maz...there is no purpose here but love

[mazHur]

Okay, Okay, Okay !

[firefangled]

Tulip Poplar
Once bent in Springtime,
to kiss such a brief flower,
now one bloom and tree.

[kiz_paws]

Promise Me

My hands hold your face
see forever in my eyes
never let me go

[mazHur]

A False Myth


Who says love begets
love, hate begets hate. I loved:
Got hated nor loved !

[kiz_paws]

Love In The North

Delicate snowflakes
never a pattern repeats
much like our loving

[mazHur]

Rain In the Tropics


Rain in the tropics
Falls on the lips of thirsty
land with love-filled drops

[jon1jt]

Here's some haiku I just spun out, seems fitting to put them here, where love dwells. :)


the book lies with me
Says I will find you in your
sundress...the book closes.

sundress...the book closes.
Be my endless visitor
mornings of long looks

mornings of long looks
in the middle of the sky,
stars buried in fists

stars buried in fists,
The North star my seductress,
stalking galaxies

stalking galaxies,
blue jewels, I'm knee deep in sky
come over and play!

[ampoule]

Nice everyone.


Snow Globe
The earth is shaken
Your hands drift over my face
The snow has no chance

[FacialFracture]

Waves crash, each on each;
The impact would be sweeter,
If we were water.

[firefangled]

In Winter
Pennyroyal grows,
a blanket of sweet perfume,
safe and warm the Rose

[motherhubbard]

Melting the frost

Song birds call the sun
We wake to the morning chill
Making our own warmth

Cat and mouse

Unexpected smile
Bashful, expressing promise
Eyes peek through lashes

Yielding

She whispers softly
“You may have what you desire”
yield to temptation

[kiz_paws]

This is a wonderful thread, showcasing so much beauty. Thank you!


Still ....
Your breath on my neck
should warm me up instead of
sending chills down me

[crazefest456]

the book lies with me
Says I will find you in your
sundress...the book closes.

sundress...the book closes.
Be my endless visitor
mornings of long looks

God, I love this part!

[ampoule]

Fire Starter
Gathered leaves and twigs
Kindled by your warming hands
A spark, a flame, fire.

[mazHur]

Fire Starter
Gathered leaves and twigs
Kindled by your warming hands
A spark, a flame, fire.

was that a bonfire
or a blitz that you kindled
from my leaves and twigs?

[firefangled]

The evening erupts
red clouds flow across the sky
two silhouettes watch

[TheFifthElement]

In the dark morning
you are the quivering light
bringing me to life.

[ampoule]

For Me, You Play

your fingers, they strum
the frets up and down my spine
tune full, not hollow

ampoule, November First, TwoThousandEight

worry not, my sweet,
the 'tremello' of my love
will fill all your pores!:)

[alakungfu]

Tremble at your acts
Marvel at your tender deeds
I've brooked your rivals
