Of Shells and Lovers

blushing pink seashell
glistening  with salty foam
in a lover’s hands

My response to Carpe Diem Universal Jane #4 abalone shells and lovers

a time of beaches
abalone shells and lovers
without memories

In this episode of Universal Jane, Chèvrefeuille has turned to sensuality, erotica and love in haiku. He reminds us that Jane was a great poetess and in many of her haiku you can easily find sensuality, erotica and love.  He has shared some to inspire us to write haiku, tanka or other Japanese poetry with a bit of sensuality:

making love
the jack-o-lantern also
grins in the dark

shadows moving
on the bedroom wall
a pumpkin’s eyes

in and out
of the river’s mouth
a tongue of sea
