Have a Haiku 9

For those wondering about the number 9, this is the 9th collection of my 'Have a Haiku' series (of ten Haiku per collection).

Dotted lady bird

If only your knotted life

Were smooth like your skin

 

Mercy, oh, Summer

Your fruit-laden trees weigh down

My skeletal heart

 

Whence do you derive

Zesty spirit, tangy tone?

I ask busy bees

 

What a robust heart

The stallion smugly flashes

My frail sinews sigh

 

Browned off and famished

Kitten upon kitten flops

Awaiting minced meat

 

Petals and pebbles

Around each other exist

Pain and pleasure too

 

All jungle rules die

When the mighty sky pours gin

All just wait and watch

 

A heaving heart sees

Fearless dolphins rise and fall

Great currents arise

 

Golden sun, pale moon

Unnamed objects big and small

Gyrate with your grin

 

Dew drops are drying out

Blades of grass have lost their bite

Who would wait for whom?

These are great dearest Blossom, both individually and as a sequence. Some really neat imagery and thoughts on show here.

Thanks for liking, Beano. I can see that you've posted a new poem. Can I resist?? ;-)

[Roland Petrov]

My favorite line? Of course it's "When the mighty sky pours gin"! It reminds me of a South African movie I saw once where ripe fruits would fall from trees and ferment on the ground. Animals would gather to eat and get drunk. So you're up to 90 haiku now; I'll be watching for the centenarian.

[Blossom]

Ta, Roland! So, the mighty sky pouring gin is popular, indeed. And I echo the ;of course' in your comment. ;-)
And that must be an interesting depiction of the drunken lot of animals!
I too am waiting for the centenarian, Roland, and I hope it showcases some happy ones!

You've got some really neat thoughts. Love it.

[Blossom]

Thanks, Cherry Pepperweb!
I just have to close my eyes and see how the mighty sky pours gin! :-)

[Cherry Pepperweb]

That's a sky I'd have rain on me any day. :)
