slow train

i lose count of the cars

when the woman blows a kiss

first kiss

a firefly blinks its way

toward mars

kissing…

a woodpecker works

the sugar maple

– from Bottle Rockets # 11 –

dog day heat

the subtle breeze

of a blown kiss

– from Full Moon Haiku (July ’05) –

 

ed markowski

good morning kiss

wing beats

of the hummingbird

Peggy Lyles from To Hear the Rain

first kiss –
the lilacs still heavy
with last night’s rain

 

billie wilson – The Heron’s Nest (April 2001)

faint pink lips

where someone kissed

the window

kissing moon goodnight

a gentle

drunk

David G. Lanoue from Haiku Guy: a novel

Kissing Day —

just as much fun

with our dentures out

 

 

her chocolate breath

mingles with mine —

easter sunset

 

his pop-fly

kisses the moon —

heading to second base

cloud-covered night–
no moon, no fireflies,
no goodnight kiss

Still heat of afternoon–

sand crystals glinting

between the railroad tracks

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sun-scorched slope–

an old donkey rubs his rump

against a mud-crusted post

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Round summer moon–

the garden stones

almost break into flower

 

 

Rebecca Lilly from Shadwell Hills 

(Birch Prees Press, 2002)

the bedroom spider

gets clemency —

not the mosquito
