Spring Bash Haiku-Thon 2008 by `Laurence55:iconLaurence55:



March 1st

tiger paws-
cumulus clouds
on the move

March 2nd

wind chimes-
uncle Ronnie's dentures
in the glass

March 3rd

crosstalk
the neighbor slips
into our phone sex

March 4th

instantly
the barn owl's face-
spring dusk

March 5th

first light-
a pond skimmer ferries
its reflection

March 6th

meeting  her eyes  spring rain

March 7th

bulging moon
a toad muscles free
from earth

March 8th

warrior code
the old dog leaves
to die

March 9th

fist fight
the cat pummels
an old boot

March 10th

spring mountain-
my fingers reach
into heaven

March 11th

pouring rain...
he finally
comes clean

March 12th

cloudless dawn-
my brother bargains
a sick day

March 13th

clearance sale-
my aunt shops
for a husband

March 14th

descending fog...
his word
against mine

March 15th

dappled light
the crooked halo
of a lawn gnome

March 16th

vernal equinox-
a hawk flies
full circle

March 17th

milky way
I find her g-spot

March 18th

Chauffeur Blues
the cat gnaws
at a flea

March 19th

wind shift dandelion jazz

March 20th

fickle moon
I fold my gi
a third time

March 21st

alchemy
her lips press deeper
into mine

March 22nd

pillow talk
reciting
old man Issa

March 23rd

orange butterfly
the slow lift
of her sun dress

March 24th

river darkness
one tadpole
with legs

March 25th

only half a cup
of tea this time-
March loneliness

March 26th

spring cleaning
she brushes an eyelash
from my cheek

March 27th

sugar maple
this way and that-
lark song

March 28th

reaching
from beyond the grave
wildflowers

March 29th

blue jays-
suddenly I'm it
in a game of tag

March 30th

in her open palm
spring
unfolds

March 31st

moonflower
the rising note
of a cricket

For the entire month of March, I will be participating in the Spring Bash Haiku-Thon hosted by none other than :iconiscariot-priest: Each day, I will post one haiku (or senryu) for a total of 31 pieces that directly or in subtle fashion correlate with the spring season. Enjoy :D and please check out the many talented haijin who are actively participating. :nod: :D


March 8th- Farewell old friend...you lived your life with grace and dignity.

March 20th- Gi- a uniform used in martial arts. I study both the Chinese arts, and the Japanese sword.

You say, look at me now. don't shut those dyslexic eyes. So your heart's a slow learner and those drugs are its disguise. Well, it's a clear costume, you might as well not try to hide.
You paint the picture well, great start!

Today was a great sky for spring haiku.

Think everywhere had the bright blue with wispy clouds moving through it.
