Simply Haiku

Procrastination
It really must come to end
Time to get to work

Passionaria · 03-17-2012, 01:36 AM

dark of moon tonight
hummingbird whispers stories
magic grows within

sweet nectar of life
you enchant my very soul
irresistible

look into my eyes
undeniable passion
I call my own name

sanctify myself
the fire said burn brighter
sumptuous self love

Sewing torn pockets
Mobile phone will stay there now
No more phone on floor

My team, the Steelers
Yours, the Baltimore Ravens
Opposites attract?

I don’t usually enjoy the process of writing haiku. I’m someone who’d find it tight having to wish somebody a good day using only twenty-five words. Consequently haiku feels too restrictive. I can’t express myself. There’s no room to maneuver. I imagine that’s the idea, yet the limits feel excessive for me. Claustrophobic even. But it’s just the thing to teach me to be succinct. I need to learn to speak in tight neat packages of brevity. So I figured I’d write a haiku about that.

What can I say when
words are so tightly wrapped there’s
no space for a sigh

Its brilliance blinded
Butterflies teased my insides
Because...defense breached

Spring in Atlanta:
Love and pollen in the air,
A gush of plant sperm.

Talking could be bad
Mercury in retrograde
Silence equals peace?

Brisk, long, scenic walk
Now home with a tired dog
Just in time, rain starts

Hi Miss Tick, I want to validate your experience with Haiku. I hear you, yet you came up with it anyway For me it's like squeezing a tube of tooth paste, the pressure helps me spit it out, in way's I would never have come up with on my own, lol.

Haiku poetry
makes me search in new places
for delicious words

Texas heat rising
last summer the earth scorched dry
frog songs call the rain

Passionaria · 04-01-2012, 05:28 PM

sultry voice insights
sweet sensuous upheaval
moonlight kisses stars

addictive cravings
karmic weaving's unconscious
dysfunctional love

is your comfort zone
and real love feels abnormal
kindness is boring

so take the abuse
calling it love is crazy
it's your cross to bare

Empty pockets hang
Money slipping through my hands
Is it all worth it?
