Gentle deer's heartbeat
Flowerbuds 'twixt cloven hooves
Whisper, whisper, flight

Bunny's breath smells sweet
Oh nestle close, my darling
Downy fur and peace

All slow connections
Cannot display the webpage
Screaming at my screen

Too many people
Introvert misunderstood
Please, just one friend here

Nuzzles and laughter
Sweet, sparkling paternal tears
Pure, innocent love

Big arms full of warmth
Little girl leaps in with joy
Happy and loving

Flickering minnows
Scattering water droplets
Little silver shards

Tall hill full of grass
Isolated all around
So green and so blue

Thick square yellow cake
Covered with rich pink icing
Om nom nom nom nom!

Hugging your tummy
Oh, does that make you giggle?
Wheee, tickle tickle!

Blue and black night sky
With swirling constellations
So far, so endless

Wishing you were here
Too tired for anything else
Just want to hug you

Gentle Highland man
Wraps his bairn in tartan cloth
Burr-laced lullabies

Too many gray shades
Please take me to a place where
Fairy tales are real

Drinking, sleeping bees
Curled inside lilac blossoms
Fuzzy, yellow smiles

Squishy manatee
Big, round belly of teal-gray
Tiny, friendly eyes

Green bean casserole
Smother it with French onions
Water chestnut crunch

Bookshelf in my room
How many words do you hold?
Pages and pages

Are elves tall and fair
Or are they bearded and fat
And tiny wee men?

Branch in the big pond
Wriggles and shows its snake-head
Run away screaming

Trucks on the highway
Rolling through the wind at night
Strange, soothing echo
Just some haikus I wrote during the past month, mainly while waiting for the seminars to begin at the college conference I attended.

I like these little poems. :) They're very easy and personal to write. Haikus are a great way to be creative when I'm tired and don't feel like doing much except simple words.

Ooh, how very beautiful and meaningful! The poems regarding the deer, bees and bunny are very lovely and sweet, those regarding the pretty night sky and the trucks driving at night are very pretty and atmospheric, and the one regarding the big, cuddly manatee was darling! (I would give him a great big hug.)
