View Article  Midsummer haiga by Rachel Green
It's Midsummer's Night Eve (well it still is here in the UK) and what better than a faerie themed haiga...

View Article  Something for the weekend - more erotic haiku
Following hard on the heels of Larry Kimmel's erotic collection from a fortnight ago, here we go with some more sensual haiku to set you up for the weekend...


his lust
by moonlight
which one of us the muse?
 
 
between the billow
of freshly washed sheets
    nubile
        naked
 
 
midnight skinny dip ~ ~ ~ he calls her moonbeam
 
 
winter night
in bed imagining him
. . . imagining it
 
 
delayed flight
not one tush
cute as his

Guest

Slouched on their couch I try for invisibility, my belly falling over my crotch and affording some privacy, my fur a little sparse here and there, my skin scaling underneath.  “Gorilla” means a “tribe of hairy women” but I’m just one gorilla in a group of humans, not a member of the family.

Muzzled, only my
fingers talk. A weed above
snow.  Geranium.


* Nicola Morris started off British but now lives in Vermont, in the US.  She's published poems, stories and essays, and teaches in the Goddard College MFA programme, in Plainfield, Vermont.

View Article  Four steamy haiku by Larry Kimmel for the weekend
We're noticing a trend for writers to start pushing the boundaries of haiku (& related Japanese short forms) in to more erotic (or should that be erogenous) zones. Here are four haiku for the weekend...


thunder and apple blossoms    
her naked presence in the orchard grass

*****

rising out of the mountain lake
        pink tips
    pucker to
     peach pits

*****

sea salts
her need finds a helping hand

*****

under a nude pearl sky
touching the lake with her sex


* Larry Kimmel is a US poet of both haikai and mainline forms.  His most recent books are: this hunger, tissue-thin and Blue Night & the inadequacy of long-stemmed roses (Modern English Tanka Press).
