We who with songs beguile your pilgrimage / And swear that Beauty lives though lilies die, / We Poets of the proud old lineage / Who sing to find your hearts, we know not why ... (James Elroy Flecker)

Summer Love #11: Heatwave



Heatwave


after the summer heat
raindrops kissing my naked body
Ah! that coolness

At Carpe Diem Haiku Kai, we are asked to create a troiku from the above source haiku. Here is mine:



after the summer heat

we replace first one blanket
move closer together

            ******

raindrops kissing my naked body

my skin tautens in anticipation
I imagine your touch

            ******


Ah! that coolness

the soft breeze in our hair
as we dance
