Haiku



LAKE DISTRICT HAIKU
Persistent black rain -
cloud snagged on the mountain's spine
like fleece on barbed wire


WRITING HAIKU
Always the white sheet,
and wondering how to wake
my sleeping beauty


MOROCCAN HAIKU
Her blazing eyes see
through the hijab of charcoal,
the endless desert


BREAKFAST HAIKU
Joy of buttered toast,
melting in my morning mouth
like your sultry kiss


DESIRE HAIKU
Undisclosed desires -
my whole life is made of them
- bricks of crumbling love

Beautiful. :-)

I especially loved...
