A Few Haikus - DingoJay - 10-22-2017
Handful of haiku;
Written a long time ago;
Found on my hard drive.
I wrote these for a contest on a long-gone forum, around 1999-ish. They are all in the traditional 5-7-5 form.
Some Zooish Haiku by Dingo Jay
Best friend and lover
Soft fur against my bare skin
She lives to please me.
____
He sits before me
Pink delight peeks from his sheath
Awaiting my touch.
____
Cold nose, amber eyes
Half-wild to her last breath
My dangerous mate!
____
His past a nightmare
Flinching under a caress
He learns to trust me.
____
Busy herding dog
Coat matted with dust and muck
Hides the love within.
____
Junkyard Doberman
Enjoys the release we share
Then wants to cuddle.
____
Her gaze locked with mine
Her musk intoxicating
I can't resist her.
____
Warm tongue and whiskers
Signalling his desire
How does he sense mine?
____
His paw on my knee
He has that look in his eyes
I am late for work.

A Few Haikus - silverwolf1 - 10-23-2017
I think we were on the same forum, as that's when I wrote the few zoo ones I posted here. I only seem to write Haikus for contests. Yours are much better than mine. I especially like the last one. It conveys everything a Haiku is supposed to be, and does so while creating an image all can relate to here. Good work.
