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

Summer Love #4: Ice Cream … Troiku


Ice Cream … Troiku












Source haiku:

snow fall in belly
adding lusciousness to feast 
vanilla ice cream


My troiku:

snow fall in belly
the splash of sudden cold
painfully welcome

adding lusciousness to feast
slow licking tongue
circles the cone

vanilla ice cream
the most cooling of all
for the child in me


Written for day 4 of 'Summer Love' at Carpe Diem Haiku Kai
