ticket

(haiku)

eight eyes, hairy legs
hitch-hiker on my dashboard
it jumps! STEP ON IT!

forgiveness

(haiku)

lovely cooling rain
was it boiling hot last night?
how soon we forget



exigent finesse

(haiku)

what is a poet?
I think you're asking it wrong
can one own one's words?



love me like a panda

love me like a dog
let me give you a pet name
come when I call you

love me like a cat
keep your independence
let me make you purr

love me like a bird
sing to me sweetly unasked
let me watch you soar

love me like a horse
bear me where I choose to lead
let me choose our pace

love me like a rose
simply ooze your essence
let me breathe you in

love me like a mirror
let me leap into your eyes
tell me the whole truth

love me like a mom
believe in my potential
keep me in your heart

love me like a god
unearth our earthly moments
treasure your creation




taste

(haiku)

crows in poetry?
ugh! next thing you know, they'll want
rats, spiders, bat dung

crisp

(haiku)

leaves do not plummet
rather, they fall gracefully
crisp death mimics wings

flower child

(haiku)

bathe my soul in joy
balm my heart from frustrations
my peace/love moment

trip inside

(haiku)

swirling thoughts fading
crawling back to the present
glimmer of insight

flight

(haiku)

wings differ in form:
butterflies, dragonflies, birds,
soaring in my mind

existential assistant

(haiku)

yes little puppy
let's go outside and find out
why Mourning Dove weeps

the artist's eye never lies

(haiku)

not all poetry
draws pretty little pictures
of love and rainbows

step away from the small screen

(haiku)

escape from real life
write a haiku on Twitter
snow on frozen pond
