HAIKUS

P.M.

i think i met thor

the depths of your emotions

i watched the sky shake

M.S.*

change my words to wine

something sweet to drink in spring

some way to know me

E.V.*

can't i caress you

with inquest and inquiry

who are you, really?

G.H.*

my heart stays open

like the flowers in heaven

love is eternal

S.C.G.//

how wonderful to

allow a meeting of souls

on a Tuesday night

R.S.

if Zeus is jealous

it's of the lightning in you

his cannot compete

G.S.

there's a comfort in

looking into someone's eyes

and seeing yourself

A.O.*

what of obsession?

to understand another,

to be understood

J.P.

i want the ocean

to grab me and drag me out

to its deep abyss

E.V.*

love doesn't scare me

it revitalizes me

it's what's possible

A.T.

the curls in your hair

they remind me of something--

a painting i love

M.S.*

i live in the past

i live inside memories

i live in myself

C.V.

all those small moments

and sometimes we get lucky

and we know each other

M.S.*

i have this feeling

endless possibility

how nice that it's there

D.F.

to live in conflict

and to live through all the pain

still tethered to hope

M.B.

tricky beginnings

superseded by middles

that make me happy

G.H.*

to err is to be

as human as possible

or so they have said

M.S.*

i want what i want

i do not house patience here

nor does she visit

D.F.

the supreme joy in

getting to revise a poem

when you fall in love

R.P.//

i love knowing you

and i love hearing your poems

and about your days

R/D*

and the displeasure

of then revising a poem

when things change too much

J.B.

wrap me in your flames--

when you look at me like that,

when i am undone

M.S.*

to be me is to

swim endlessly in feelings

and to be happy

J.B.

i get the sense that
