I had a blast reading at Under A Daylight Moon this afternoon… for all those who weren’t able to be there, here are the 16 haiku I read (those without an author attributed to them are my own):
how fine to see
the pure white fan
of my beloved
(Buson)
girl cat, so
thin on love
and barley
(Basho)
swat those flies
softly please
I want to sleep
(Shiki)
my last resort –
I borrow the cat’s
futon
(Issa)
not speaking
our shadows
keep touching
(Rotella)
sun & moon
in the same sky
the small hand of my wife
(Hotham)
holding you
in me still…
sparrow songs
(Virgil)
If I go alone
I’ll lie in the wildflowers
and dream of you
(Willmot)
in your panties
slightly pulled down
a crisp fallen leaf
(Sato)
her hair smell
in my face, my fingers
count her vertebrae
(Ramsey)
up her leg
I trace a line
of goosepimples
at sunset
two cats in love
the old dog moans
first date
too scared to kiss
on the ghost train
love letter
so humid
the page curls
faint glow
the moon on her skin
afer lovemaking
in love again
the kettle
boiled dry
Thanks again Graham for an excellent post! Hope the wedding went well (sounds like it did).
Thanks Chris. The wedding was simply wonderful… I only wish I could have hit the pause button occassionally to be able to soak in some moments for just a little bit longer. Hope life is good for you. I would love you to contribute an answer to the question I have posed in my latest blog – What is a book?
