...... than meets the eye (haiku collection)



Valentine's night -
my love token
begins to wilt


the bush blooms
from an early shower 
morning glory


sunlit bikini 
above her thighs
thoughts wander


nude portrait -
a delicate brushstroke
makes her smile


in the water
an eyeful of moon
midnight swim


last shag
on the breakwater
ebb tide


the old bell
still peals perfectly -
wedding anniversary


she yawns
while haymaking
so nearly autumn



Please tell me what you think

    heheh ... forethought ... syllable count is fine when learning what a syllable is in primary school .... haiku has come a long way since then ... i hope you will find some GOOD reading material to help you with that thought ... and you have started in a good place in reading Tishu's HAIKU >>> Gina

    This is softly touching, as I read it felt as though a paint brush was tickling my mind trying to paint the imagery upon it.
    I enjoy the flow of this Haiku chain


    Stay safe

    Dear Tishu,

    I personally think your haiku are beautiful. I will be happy when I can do as well if ever...I am just now learning how to write haiku. Taking the class offered by haikmonk and being taught by Myron. I am stuck on assignment # 6...lots of learning to go. It is not as easy as one might think ...several words with so much meaning...Thank you for posting this so I knew about it...Darlene

      Thank you Darlene - I am pleased that these may have inspired you. It is one of the reasons why I put these compilations up for viewing. I am glad that you are being coached in haiku by haikumonk and myron. Myron was my mentor a few years back and we still correspond.

      Say what you see.

      Tishu

    This is one of those "feel good" poems. I like your soft suggestive hints that are laced to nature. Very well done.Pen on...

    Very thoughtful. It has a surreal sense of reality.

    This is a wonderful collection of haiku, Tishu. This one is my favorite:

    the old bell
    still peals perfectly -
    wedding anniversary

    That is sweet.
