Some random haikus

[badseed1980]

Your skin is sweet honey:
Warm, alive, lit from within.
You taste of summer.

***

Silk brushes my skin.
I dance, and pause to find your gaze
Brushing me like silk.

***

Against snow-strewn grey,
Black branches give shape to space
Winter made formless.

Have you noticed that love has seemed revitalized, lately? Venus has recently gone direct, and I, personally, have noticed the change...

No, not really. But the *potential* for it is there.

Well, everything happens a bit earlier here on the Left Coast. Good Love Vibes coming your way....

Very nice!

I love haiku. It's such a pretty form. :)

I used to be such a beatnik: "Man, all those formalized poetry structures are, like RULES, man! Rules just get in the WAY of the poetry, man!" But now, I find I enjoy the challenge of taking a formal poetic structure and using it as the framework to build something.

me, too.

Heehee.

I've always loved the forms, but I lack confidence. I'd actually like to take more poetry classes. I've had only one.

I think I do OK with the free form stuff I write, but the forms really can add to the effect. I would love to learn to write sonnets.

Ah, well. When money's better...
