fresh cut grass—
I imagine some will stick
in our hair
*
open hand—
how much of your weight
I don’t hold there
*
sweet basil—
your buttonhole
could use some green
*
a bigger ass—
all the more likely
to land in your lap
*
sitting naked
on a rock I wonder
why you’re not
*
rising sourdough—
the shape of your hands still blooms
in wild yeast
*
dried cherries—
so much sweeter
the summer in fall
*
light
an open door
lead shoes
there are way too few haikus in this world with ‘ass’ in them. love these.
xo.
Although one comes immediately to mind with a four letter d word in it …
…and on the eight day, she wrote haiku. Wonderful series, most wonderful (I’m beginning to sound like Lawrence Welk!)
Of course, ’twas cheeky, using ass.
Four-lettered d word, huh? Let’s see: Drip, daze, dots, darn (as with a needle), date, damp, dodo (ouch), dipt (literary spelling license), down, dare, dear, deer, dine, deep, dark, dupe (ouch, again), ding, dong, does, dips, …
(You get the drift.)
Indeed, wunderbar!
Seriously, truthfully honestly, a resonating dreamscape of images. Deep sigh of thank yous.
ed, a great list of four-letter d words, dude. afraid i am too prissy to mention the word i had in mind … from a goofy late-night tipsy conversation in which we wrote an off-colour haiku …
your d words are much better choices.
