I was about to move away from my Haiku obsession but your offering might begin a movement. My innocent mind read this as simply about water and mother earth. But then again...
Oh...wisteria...how lucky you are to grow it in your garden. I've no luck with it. I bet it's well established and beautiful when in bloom. I enjoyed your poem....are you tired of summer yet? I can't wait for autumn...
Awesome! The picture and words are so beautiful. A perfect summer poem. I get excited by a beautiful haiku. Mine suck, so I'm always impressed when I see a good one. I love how you weave the sensual and natural worlds.
This made me wish Mary Chapin Carpenter could set this one to music...remember her "Passionate Kisses"...But your lines are so few and far more commanding. How could any man resist!! "Shouldn't I have succulent kisses?"" Humm, sounds more like Canadian singer Diana Krall! Love it!
Gardening is a creative art if we can give it a quality of art.
ReplyDeleteOoooo! Succulent little poem that saturates my imagination. Sexy too!
ReplyDeleteWonderful haiku, sensual and mesmerising - the imagery is vivid, the sounds of the words as they roll off the tongue are a joy.
ReplyDeleteAhh, a love poem slipped to someone, hand gently touching hand.
ReplyDeleteThen again, a post-it note left on the windshield of the hunky new gardner.
Lots of possibilities.

Synchronicity.
