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…<\/span>


thunder and apple blossoms     <\/span>
her naked presence in the orchard grass<\/span>

*****<\/span>

rising out of the mountain lake<\/span>

sea salts<\/span>
her need finds a helping hand<\/span>

*****<\/span>

under a nude pearl sky<\/span>
touching the lake with her sex<\/span>


* Larry Kimmel<\/span> is a US poet of both haikai and mainline forms.  His most
