Lips form syllables...Lips form kisses...Lips show emotions...Lips are suductive... Lips are keys to everything we do and feel..outwardly as readable as the eyes... I'm not really versed in the different types of poems (high school thing...) But these Haikus that you write are soooo full of meaning...one could take apart each line word by word and fill a paragraph on each words meanings...then tackle the whole line (another paragraph) until you get to the whole poem. But your picture helped me to understand it better...sometimes I'm a visual aide type person..lol The picture also seems to me to say that ones lips are the windows to your soul..(having the eyes inbetween them lends its self to the window concept) Wonderfully crafted and very thought provoking concept...hope I read it right though :)

Wow a Haiku in its purest form which spell out a thousand words when combined with the picture! Lips bring comfort with kisses and words, how true. Well and deep thought put into this, creating a triple punchline(s).I enjoyed every bit and every time i read. Like 6 times.

amazingly good scribble, though I do not think it is quite a true Haiku
