After attending a workshop that was run by Mike Garry, I decided to have a go at some haiku; this is the result!  Go easy, they're not perfect, but they're mine and I like them! :-)

 

Feverish desire
Quenched between your silken thighs
Lips on lips, skin afire

 

Lying under stars
Skin to skin we twine in love
Each other; for hours

 

Climactic embrace
A union of bodies
Fall back into bliss

I'm finding writing haiku quite liberating! I've started to experiment with starting every stanza of my poems as a haiku and seeing how the structure works for me. Building and adding words etc where I think they're needed! Watch this space for the results; good or bad! :-)

Here's mine from the workshop, all based on a walk through Wigan that morning:

Walking through Whelley
He spies through a window, quick
Elvis stares back from plates

Sunday morning, here
Glass and kebabs in gutters
Stepping over blood

The Kittywake plumes
Wave at a lone fisherman
Bring cider to lips
