1 Matching Contest - Love Haiku - Fall 2012 • Millikin University

stargazing from
his backyard
date night

porch swing rocks
wrapped in your warmth
watching the stars

over your shoulder
a shooting star
we talk of past loves

in my room
dancing the rumba
'til midnight

carefully crafting
stronger armor
who will break through?

reigning as king
but wanting my true queen
homecoming

no pickles on her sandwich
realizing
I'm in too deep

Valentine's Day
Belvedere and cranberry
boiling fettuccine

BOTTOM half champion

firm handshake
Father's permission
granted

caught the flu
and he brings me soup
keeper

hot chocolate
we snuggle together
as the ball is intercepted

rainy day
we watch movies and cuddle
just friends

'I love you'
drunk words
sober thoughts

flirtatious voices
I should be
a professional actor

skin on skin
bathe me in love
peonies

moonless night
she traces her name
on his pillow
