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!

- in the end -

all its myriad forms

one truth shining out, always -

love is the answer.

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

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

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.

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

Bleeding hearts
caught in the shade
red-handed.

- dog love -

loving eyes follow

my every move; so they can

doze under my feet…..
