KISS, Nature

On Carpe Diem Tan Renga, we are to complete the following haiku by the wonderful Wabi Sabi with your own two lines of 7-7 syllables each.

at sunrise
no words between lovers
just a kiss                                       Wabi’s
to bloom the morning glories             Mine
setting the garden ablaze
 
 
Tan Renga
 
at sunrise
no words between lovers
just a kiss  
to bloom the morning glories
setting the garden ablaze

Ligo Haibun Challenge: Nature’s Kiss

16 Friday Aug 2013

joy, KISS, love, Nature

This week, the prompts at Ligo Haibun are the following quotes by Ingrid Bergman and Marilyn Monroe respectively: ‘A kiss is a lovely trick by nature to stop speech when words become superfluous’ and ‘ Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius and it’s better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring.’ I choose to go with Ingrid Bergman’s quote.

Nature’s Kiss

PictureIt’s a joy when Chris and I wake up every dawn to the beauty of the silvery dew drops glistening on the leaves and flowers in our yard. I’m always stunned gazing at the splendour of swaying colours in the cool breeze as they open up and glow under the kiss of the drops. Wordlessly, my husband then pulls me gently to him and kisses me ever so tenderly by the bedroom window, in celebration of such a wonderful gift from nature.

nature’s dawn kiss
mirrors our gratitude
no need for words

Poet At Play – KISS

KISS

K.I.S.S

I must keep it
Short and simple
This desire
To eat
Your lips
This yearning
To suck
The nectar
Of the
Ripened bud
Must be
Short and simple
A marketing jingle
 
Keep it
Short and simple
My kisses
Must not
Bore you
Tire you
Wear you out
A boring lecture
 
Keep it
Short and simple
This thing
I feel for you
I must keep it
Short and simple
But how can I?
 
All I want to do
Is to
Hold you
Hug you
Feel you
Kiss you
Softly
Gently
Tenderly
Hungrily
Absolutely
 
My love for you
Pulsates
Burns
With life
Passion
Power
Rhythm
Timeless
In its intensity
 
Stretched out
Drawn out
Never breaking
Never dying
Enveloping                  
Fulfilling
Forever
K.I.S.S
Is only
An acronym
