Him cradling my girl
In his arms with a smile
I am so content

your love broke the dawn
rose and gold shone on my face
colors I still taste

i am so often “broken”
he makes my heart warm

no roses today,
a coffee grinder instead?
hide my fallen face
i guess i’m not in the mood to celebrate love. it sometimes disappoints…

- dog love -
loving eyes follow
my every move; so they can
doze under my feet…..

Bleeding hearts
caught in the shade
red-handed.

Regard my pale queen
looking down again
on blue oaks mooning.

i’m not writing to win anything, like you guys said,
i just like reading, contemplating love, in its
many forms and guises.
also obvious obsessive haiku-er- duh
that said, please ignore-remove “his” in
re-write # 9. should read “words - tender arrows”
i hate it when i notice bad count after
posting! thanks.

Her shy demeanor
disappeared when she stood with
him and said “I do”.

-New Family-
We started with plants.
Raised them. Nurtured them. Loved them.
…. They grow up so fast.

- in the end -
all its myriad forms
one truth shining out, always -
love is the answer.

Thank you, everyone. I just love this thread. I love seeing the different ways we experience love in this collection of haiku. And I love that this reminds me of Patricia Donegan’s book which kind of inspired this whole thing. Love shows itself in so many ways.
Congratulations to Samantha Baker for her winning wedding haiku (Haiku #15). What a beautiful moment expressed in haiku!
