Haiku ? (1993)


Sweet breath of your mouth

Warm breezes, tall red wildflowers

Sweet fire of my loins
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Gone

My lady has left
The inextinguishable
flame of her love
was but a firefly

Richard Todd

 
 
 
Poetry Wednesday Tour will start here

    Milli, your page is magnificent, a work of art!
    Well, a haiku is a 5-7-5 syllable scheme so these are technically not haiku, but they are lovely shorties and paint beautiful pictures. I see their visions lined up in little picture frames...

    A quick note here...The above verse by Richard may not be a technical correct as a haiku and that is why the question mark. the other short poem is not placed as a haiku. The top writing is my own and although not also technically correct it is a part of my own learning process to write good haiku. I am very happy for anyone here who visits to leave their own haiku about the images in this comment section.
    Thank you my dear friends and visitors for your appreciation.

    Powerful - all three! - in a powerfully illustrated presentation!

    If you really want us into it, well, let's give it a shot:
    .........................................................................................................................................(thinking)

    Fresh blazing poppies
    consume my fields of sense
    innocently

    Hmmm......
    Thank you so much for the challenge!!!

    Have a blistering day! :)
