Swimming: a Haiku for @earlfando

the lake is my sky
and when in her cool embrace
i become a cloud

Haiku for M'lady

such hungry candy
so deep, those emerald eyes
i am overthrown

haiku: the flies

larval in our sleep
we dream we are human and
wake buzzing with lust

Haiku Blowout

I (meta haiku)
First, I count to five
then seven more syllables
and five to finish

II
Tranquility is
a dragonfly passing by
on a summer's day

III
Always remember
that the past is tense and the
future is perfect

IV
If you can make a
home of your heart then you will
never be alone

V
Do take my hand and
sit very still to hear how
softly the snow falls

VI
One thing I would like
to know before I go is:
'Are you lonesome, moon?'

VII
I was born before
the stars were awake, and yet
the night knows my name

VIII
Be here and now for
it is the then and soon where
problems do begin

IX
All you are is now
one continuous moment
in which I am lost

X
I loved you even
before I had any clue
that you could love me

Some haiku

I
I was tainted with
insatiable love on the
day that I was born

II
Please do not ever
tell the sky what I have said
it is our secret

III
Thousands of pixels
impossibly form your face
oh, how I love you

Haiku about thoughts

How like clouds thoughts are
they either elude you or
they obscure your view

Two Haiku for Tuesday, Feb. 2, 2010

I
Everyday you
should eat a poem because
it is good for you

II
Brush back the hair from
the sky's eyes and then you can
sing your morning song

Haiku: Skylarking

Remember why you
held up the sky so long and
give it a new home

Two Haiku for the Price of One!

I
You know you could just
stay here in the bed we made
and sleep in my arms

II
Come outside and I
will move to your rhythm while
the stars wound the night

Haiku: Mad moon

Lulled by countless stars
but how can I find sleep with
the moon in my bed?

Haiku for the moon

(Inspired by @Zamees, which is to say I stole words...)

My advice is to
ask a question, shake, and then
wait for a response

I could be wrong but
I think maybe the moon is
toying with me now

Haiku 12 + 13

Once upon a time
I was seduced by the moon
now I cannot sleep

If my verse should seem
overly romantic then
blame it on the moon

Haiku 11: Ray's Blues

NB: I stole these words from @rayonativia and rearranged them into a haiku. I hope he forgives me.)

Would you look at that
sitting and doing nothing
that arrogant moon.

Haiku 10

Go and tell the moon
that I am sorry but I
could not hang around

haiku 9

You cannot possess
a heart any more than you
can possess the wind

haiku 8

Lover, have you been
up all through the night just to
sing the moon to sleep?

haiku: insomniac

The moon is keeping
me awake all night with its
incessant longing

Haiku 6

Even the soft, white
snow harbors a secret wish
that spring will soon come

Haiku 4

You said, 'I love you.'
And, suddenly, everything
became possible

Haiku 3: Monsters

When there are monsters
You should not feed them because
They will feed on you
