Haiku Kukai 4
Global Haiku • Millikin University • Fall 2018
glossy black pavement |
pine trees |
Stadium Arcadium |
mom's mirror |
finally had the courage |
fingertips caress |
choosing a darker |
first date |
forehead kiss |
test day |
the door creaks |
i walk as |
the forest sways |
many words |
finding your name |
bananagrams |
six legs |
winter break |
heavy breathing |
crisp cool night |
summer stillness |
she leans in |
alone |
3 drunk texts |
tree climbing |
stay out of the garage |
caramel topped ice cream |
dirty dishes pile up |
rain spatters the windows |
you take me under your wing |
February fifteenth— |
eyes meet |
sleeping in his old t-shirt |
cool evening |
at this point— |
order his favorite |
first crush |
jambalaya night |
listening to old |
looking into his eyes |
third wheel |
allergic reaction |
homecoming
|
graduation day |
un deux trois— |
in the mirror |
4am |
patience |
polaroid of |
in his lap |
home for |
his jacket smell |
black overalls |
church benches |
a twisted pigtail |
busy butterfly |
cocoa butter |
night terror |
mid-sentence Romeo |
he steps on my dress |
class schedules |
long curvy highway |
sun shining brighter— |
summer breeze |
black paisley matched |
her hands rub across my back |
back home for the weekend |
washed sweatshirt |
snuggled up |
in class notes |
thoughts swirl endlessly |
warmth steams |
a night in |
POP |
fairytale ending |
across the room |
snapchat from you |
autumn bonfire |
sneaking into her closet |
falling up the stairs |
sparkling snow . . . |
