dirty haiku

[nerk]

*Psttttttt put your knickers on!*

HAHAHAHAHAHAAAA

that's EXACTLY the right response to such a suggestion.
knickers are the devil's workshop.

Day 105

the park as night falls
on a stone bench, lovers watch
the sickle moon swim

 

[nerk]

Day 106

can one more poem
about foliage bring back
spring's palette sooner?

 

[nerk]

Day 107

rain flattens golden
leaves to the pavement, her hair
clings to her bare back

 

[nerk]

Day 108

tree trunk caught between
rocks above waterfall, wonders
how did I get here?

 

[nerk]

Day 109

so many vines hang
off this tree that will hold it
upright while it rots

 

[nerk]

Day 110

looking for my sock
thinking: summer is better
for one night affairs

 

[nerk]

Day 111

girl in a puddle
as pretty as you, one step
she's gone, your rival

 

[butters]

i always enjoy reading your series, nerk, even when i've not time to comment. your images take me places immediately.

one phrase of yours keeps lingering in my head, though subtly altered to:

rain flatters leaves
golden...

i might be using that sometime

 

[nerk]

Day 112

cats sprawled in the sun
watch the birdbath, waiting for
the perfect moment

 

[nerk]

Day 113

rainy night, cold fog
turns each streetlight's glow into
its own gothic tale

thank you chip, I always welcome your comments.
and your theft
really, this whole thread is like raw ore, anyone who can mine it for images should.

Day 114

hawk chased across sky
does the sparrow know that she
is out of his league?

 

[nerk]

Day 115

cold breath curls away
pale wisp under the full moon
it could be my ghost

 

[nerk]

Day 116

bury us in leaves
kiss me, say it is over
then go back to him

 

[nerk]

Day 117

watching the ocean
listening to a fly buzz
we are both so small

 

[butters]

cold breath curls away
pale wisp under the full moon
it could be my ghost

you serve up these images like a chef delivering dainties on a plate

Sorry no "Dirty Haiku" today. Just joined and wanted to say I love the poets corners.
Nerk; the imagery is great! (if I misspelled or used wrong grammar, punctation, please advise) I have read a lot of your stuff on these sites, educating when trying to master languages. Hope to submit soon, no pun interned

Ciao, Bellamusa

the trick to images is to slice them really thin and then make sure all the fluid drains out before you cook them. also, don't overcook the metaphors, or they lose their flavor. As you can see

thank you chip, always a pleasure

Day 118

leaves scratching pavement
twirled by wind, dizzy girls who
won't sit out a dance

 

[nerk]

Day 119

daddy long-legs on
my keyboard, too delicate
to write anything

 

[Bellamusa]

leaves scratching pavement
twirled by wind, dizzy girls who
won't sit out a dance

I resemble that remark. Strong imagery for me. Sorry, no High Kaiku. Hope to have something worth offering to your thread in a day or so. Thank you for the link, it will help.

Ciao, Bellamusa

Day 120

black clouds twist inward
hand clutching the sky, the storm
a jealous lover

 

[nerk]

Day 121

the wind creeps through cracks
in these old walls, whispering
of the one who left
