I ... entered the poem of life, whose purpose is ... simply to witness the beauties of the world, to discover the many forms that love can take. (Barabara Blackman in 'Glass After Glass')

Licking My Lips: Erotic haiku, December 2014

licking my lips
after the banquet
replete

26/12/14


memory
the smell of your skin
its taste

***

my lips
on your hair
murmuring

***

your fingers
hesitant
then bold

27/12/14


he traces
the slender curve
slowly

28/12/14


hot afternoon
your cool breath
caresses my shoulder

    I find this hilarious that I'm not the only one who uses haiku to writer a much longer poem. This was really full of emotion.

      Oh, Kenn, I in turn find it intriguing that you related to this as to a longer poem. I do use haiku that way at times, as do other poets I know - but in this case it is a series of separate haiku. I tend to post my haiku to my blog in monthly collections rather than one at a time.

      Or perhaps you referred only to the three written on the same date — but even they were separate, as I tried to convey by the asterisks between them.

    the smell and taste of the skin...ah, love the intimacy in these
    and those are echoes that stick with...
    50 shades of haiku eh? smiles.

    This is wonderful., writing erotica in haiku is such a great idea.. I have seen others do it to great effect but I have rarely been successful myself.n

    So much more passion in your hot haiku, than in hundreds of pages and a reel of film.

    Wishing you a lovely week ahead.

      Ha ha! Yes, I think subtlety and suggestion can be a lot sexier than the explicit. (Also I don't find abusive behaviour attractive.)

    It is funny how just a few words can stir the imagination and allow the reader to picture the scenes in their minds. Beautifully done Rosemary.

    These haiku are very appealing on a sensory level - subtle and deeply felt.
