Tell me a rainbow does not make your heart go flip-flop and sometimes nearly take your breath away!

Green expanse
Painting hills, splashing mountains

I assumed love was another gift for the hearts, a promise from God too Originally Posted by Frankie Jasmine

Hmm whenever I see a rainbow I tend to think of the physics behind it instead of going flip flop sorry
Kentucky
fried chicken pieces
oh yummy!

I quite like the senryu written, I think I shall use it for my grand exit tonight. All in all, today wasnt too bad haiku writing wise. (Using Ola's likes as benchmarks)
Remark: Someone asked me why I kept editing your comments - just to clarify, I was merely merging posts, relax, your artistic expressions have been left quite alone. Except the occasional theft. -
Better than last time, one very good and a few solid ones. Night!

Oh, Noor! You've been in the city too long! You need to go to the countryside somewhere. The sight of a deer takes my breath, also, and that's a common site*, even in our own yard! Also red foxes are quite beautiful (though ferocious). I would love (if I could) to be a chaperone for you and two of your best friends . . . to whatever country place you'd wish to go! I would sit from afar and watch your happy, playful rollicking and shenanigans! Have you never rolled down a hill, thick with green grass? I even did this with my grandchildren! Gone barefoot in a cool, shallow creekbed? Gone swimming naked in a lake (where no one else is around?) Oh, so many fun things! And you can just BE. You don't have to think about how everything works. Just enjoy it and be grateful for it!! Originally Posted by VivaPalestina

* "Sight." Blasted computer-speak, e-abbreviations, and growing "more mature" are playing havoc with my spelling and English!Last edited by Frankie Jasmine; 12-23-2012 at 08:10 PM.

Haha thanks Ola
Frankie - I once rolled down a hill. I'm still not sure what possessed me to do it, me and my cousins went looking for the bathrooms to fill up bottles to have a water fight, and we came across this hill. Something took over our minds and the next thing you have - four fully clothed headscarved girls screaming with joy rolling down a hill. Our parents didnt look to impressed
We stand barefoot in the sea. Does that count? As for swimming naked, nah cant say I've ever considered it. I swim with a coat on
Awwwwwwwwwwwwwww frankie <3 arent you scared of me? I must be losing my touch.
Oops I should be sleeping. It's 3am. Night! -
From your lips
Both rabid curses
Mellow kiss -
OI, you could spend months exploring merely the discovered caves; and years spelunking through uncharted ones! Originally Posted by OrchestraInside

Good for you! You see what being around nature inspires?! So glad you had that experience--feeling and doing. There was nothing bad in it. Perhaps your parents merely felt you'd ruin your good clothes or that others might see you and you'd appear unruly. (I understand parents too!) Inside, they were probably happy for you but could not let you know it. Originally Posted by VivaPalestina

That counts but gets boring quickly, unless you're hunting for shells. In a shallow creek, it's an adventure--not stepping on sharp rocks, being careful of slippery rocks, or not--and falling into the water! Looking for (non-poisonous) snakes, little fish, tadpoles, rocks, dragonflies, even sometimes finding (rarely--I have never, but I look!) a small raw ruby or sapphire!

We'd give privacy when getting out and dressing too. This was done ONLY in very large lakes with very private coves where no one was on land or water. Originally Posted by VivaPalestina

Mellow kiss
gentle snowflakes fall

feathered touch
titillating smile
where are you?
Next poster: It's OK to drop the question mark. -
Where are you
I'm here to stay
Hopefully with you -
With 3,266 views, I've made the thread sticky to get more contributions. Welcome Doug, nice work - normally the second line is the longest (syllable count 7) though.

Hopefully with you
Penetrating eyes perceive
Depth within your heart
Note: To the eye, the last line is the longest, but has a shorter syllable count = 5-7-5. . . . 5-7-5 is not carved in stone, but I found I can pound out better haiku (senryu) with it.Last edited by Frankie Jasmine; 12-25-2012 at 02:17 PM.
