butterflies flit

flower to flower

kiss after kiss

i was young once

it seemed an eternity

one long kiss

_______



as i remember

kissing the mouths

of lilies

_______



leaf in the wind

she boards the plane

blowing a kiss

_______



a kiss

in the rain

rainbow

snow falling

i kiss a cheek

zip his coat

a toad

jumps out of sleep

kissed by sun

in a kiss

Wow, Billy! These are wonderful. A train of kissing haiku.

There is so much to take in here, I'll have to read again.

Hi Billy,

kiss-ku
haiku
that pucker-up

kiss-ku
haiku with pucker
power

kiss-ku
haiku with the power
to pucker


flitting
flower to flower
butterfly kisses


I'm esp taken with:

"i was young once

it seemed an eternity

one long kiss"


Once upon a time
I am young - the kiss
forever lingering


a sleeping toad
kissed by the moon
leaps to life - a joyful jump


New Year's Eve
a kiss to the future
kisses the past way

New Year's Eve
a future kiss is the kiss
of death to the past

New Year's Eve
the future
is just a kiss away


kisses echo
