We haven't done haiku for a while and I've been inspired by Dawg's foray into a contest using haiku. I did one and you know that once is never enough for me*giggle*
The theme is 'happy'*GRIN* As usual I'll start you off with a few and you leave yours in comments. I'll pull some out and post them.
In case you need a primer haiku is an ancient Japanese poetry form of 17 syllables(when done in English) of typically three lines of 5-7-5 syllables, respectively. It almost never rhymes and the idea is to express much and suggest more in the fewest possible words.
So here we go.......
Consciousness follows
the involuntary smile
Waking to your touch
Nestling my hand
in yours as we hunker down
The movie screen glows
I look up and see
that I am caught in your gaze
We say I love you
*sigh* Yeah, I'll be handing out the insulin later on.
Your turn---and don't be afraid to be all oooey gooey but it doesn't have to be love---just whatever makes you happy---it's really fun.
Smooches and some treacly gropes babies.

Just kidding! It's a beautiful haiku and just as beautiful that you've found someone you can say that about/to!
I actually had this one published - in print.
Why do I bother?
Giant Atomic Chickens™
will destroy us all.
Your sparkling eyes
let my heart know of your love
and the world is grand
I sit playing cards
Your soft touch on my shoulder
And I smile with joy
Going to Tunica
together we eat and play
happiness is ours
Sitting in my robe
When the clock says almost noon
Makes me feel happy.
Haha!
And there's my day. hey - the kid is gone! I never get to lounge in my robe!
Your are better. :D
You've lost your edge, woman... hehehe!
Cold weather sets in.
Saturday morning quiet,
lawnmowers idle.
lacivious tongue
presses against heaven
i crave chocolate
What? WHAT?!?! you bunch of pervs... it was ALWAYS about the chocolate... :-)
Life is beautiful
and so is the structure for
our genetic code.
Haha I am SUCH a biology geek.
Here I sit alone
Toilet paper not found
Patience is no substitute.
I always envy people who can do those. I'm not creative enough.
Puppies and rainbows
Unicorns, candy, and love
Yes, I'm a smart ass
Sniffling at home,
I should really be with friends
joining the pub quiz.
TV on tonight
Doesn't really float my boat
Dancing show apart.
I can't write haiku,
whimsical and full of love
as I am British.
(you knew I wouldn't be able to resist, surely?)
