Haiku from August & early September 2010

4 Sept

sly smile at midnight / invitation or challenge / demure advances

suspended courage / retreat advance and retreat / the tango lesson

 -- alternate first line: suspended passion

1 Sept

charm added sometimes / in perfect asymmetry / an offbeat beauty

31 August

composes matins / in wonder dedicated / to the morning rose

mote glints, rising up / languid drift of soft shadow / cat rises, stretching

cream swirls on the surface / mug set down, laps ceramic / grey drifts, transparent

26 August

when I weave a spell / you still listen and respond / tattooed memory

subtle overture / indirect response tendered / how unexpected

22 August

No direct contact
Yet information passes
We stalk each other

Intent encrypted
Longing, rebuke, reprimand
in passing comments

Agendas obscured
kinder emotions denied
Unlike: ignore, block
