You



Summer heat frog-leaps
under ginger-shadowed moon
My lips are on fire-

    Ha. Lips on fire is not bad,
    as long as they are not sun burnt.
    Smoking hot out there today
    lovely color of moon you chose too.

    I love the smell of a haiku in the morning; it smells like violet verses & truncated stanzas. Have been playing rough with the haiku gang since Haibun has become my go-to form; done my own way, of course.

    So is the "you" the reader? And can we really never know the poet then?

    Lips on fire are fine, with the right other set of lips locked to them lol

    I like the ginger-moon image as it suggests taste, color and smell. A very sensual and strong haiku.

    Perhaps you know how partial I am to poetic brevity, whether it's Three Lines, Haiku, or Free Verse--

    This is strikingly sensual. Just lovely!

    You have a way of making words come alive, Grace. This is beautiful.

    I love the unexpected 'frog leaps' instead of 'leap frogs'--adds a twist to the words that causes the reader to sit up and pay closer attention. Very effective.
