a haiku, aside from the syllable strucutre, captures a fleeting moment that tends to focus on simple, sensory imagery. haiku evoke sudden insight or emotion, and they frequently juxtpose two images with a cutting word. here are my gatherings:

*

your skin will shatter

to bits, and within my bones,

grows desperate love

*

encase your gazing,

i only want you to think

that i'm fantastic

*

children frolick in

mud and dirt and dismay--

alone in song, together interrupeted

*

sun hides--

blanketed by the moon

and casting their hue

*

toes stretch out straight

but stop just short of the wall

yawns of feet tired of shoes

*

born of pain she clawed

her gentle way in this life,

this long-winded race

*

bitter hunger and

its satiability

thirst easily quenched

*

not comfortable

though--hard earned and scraping by

fight the good ol' fight!

*

eagerness, without

grace, free me from confinement

destined to desire
