#haiku on love

Flowers of a Different Name

I have known the hands that told me they were pulling weeds from my garden, and instead left the whole plot barren.

I have known hands that told me they simply wished to enjoy the experience of laying in my fields, but never wished to plant roots. Passersby have said “How lovely, but too much work.”

I have known hands that told me my flowerbeds are beautiful, but I should have only raised all organic, non-GMO options, but yet, they still poisoned my ground all the same.

My garden is too dark, my garden is too big, my garden is wasted space, soiled ground, too overgrown with diversity to manage, too sparse to be productive.

And then I came to know you. You asked me about the seeds I have sown and why I chose them. You admired the stubbornness of the weeds, the beauty of the blooms, and smiled in the patches of sunlight that bled through the canopy of trees overhead. You offered your hands for what hopes I had, but respected my need to tend the garden on my own. You soothed my aching shoulders, and kissed my sunburnt face.

And then I walked through your garden, enjoying the change, noting that no two gardens are ever the same. Though I am new to your garden, and I don’t yet know the flowers by name, I will help you to grow them, all the same.

Life comes with many sharp edges,

Meetings with teeth bared

And hackles pointedly raised,

Poised to pounce

At the slightest of slights.

You cusp my edges in your hands,

Careful not to cut yourself

On my sharpened teeth,

Born from years of defense.

My form begins to thaw,

My mind relaxing under your gaze.

I realize love is so many things

That I’ve thought of a hundred different ways

And been told of a thousand ways more,

But this is something I haven’t felt before.

Your presence is soft and comfortable,

Like a blanket inviting me to take a rest,

Have a laugh,

Life isn’t meant to be so serious.

I can lay down my sword with you,

And just enjoy the view.

Lovely Haiku

When you make a post, do you count the syllables for haiku-bot bait?

[cloudsandtrails]

Mammatus cloud types,

Other worldly sight to see—

Appreciative.

Watching Doc’s latest video and Joe’s fantastic job at being a lawyer, I was inspired to write a Haiku about the situation. I commented this on Doc’s video but would also like to share it here.

Doc’s a big baby.

That is my defence for him.

That’s all your highness.

Monday April 17.

National Haiku Poetry Day.

Sometimes less really is more. And other times a lot less is a lot more. Which is why today, this Monday April 17, we are joining in the celebrations for National Haiku Poetry Day, as devised and implemented by The Haiku Foundation back in 2012. Because things don't get a lot more more for a lot less less than the old art of Haiku, in which a frog leaping in a pond, the profundity of a drop of few, the light of a candle, a blooming poppy, a howling wind, or the taste of rain can be distilled and expressed with such compelling and elusive intrigue—and such economy of words. These are works which require very little time at all in the act of reading, but sit and linger and echo for a long time thereafter. They resonate, in the truest sense of the word. Tumblr being Tumblr, the writing community here is home to more than a few talented Haiku poets, as you can see for yourself over at #haiku poetry. 

And Tumblr being Tumblr, of course, this community is home to one particular talent notable in the art of Haiku: @the-haiku-bot, a bot which, in their own words: "Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up." This is a bot that can prise moments of poetry from even the most innocuous post, and, we would contend, makes the perfect way to celebrate #haiku poetry and today's national commemoration. Trans sex? 17 syllables? Your aunt? Long rants? The Turing test? There is nothing—nothing—this mysterious little bot cannot accomplish.

Dream of me you say as your lips softly brush mine. In dreams I know love.
