after our swim
the taste of salt
on your body
Ah, skinny dipping. I have one somewhere about skinnydipping at a billabong, but I can’t locate it, so many thanks for yours!
ah yes i like the juxtaposition in this one – of skinny & full. a lovely haiku. i enjoyed getting it in my Inbox this morning.
Skinny-dipping
with the stars
pure heaven
i always thought moons looked better
when dressed in cloud and denim
anyhow nice haiku
pink moon-
through white lace doily
breast round yet firm

I was reminded of you wonderful poem this weekend while reading the summer issue of Ribbons (print-zine for the TSA). There was a tanka of similar topic with your haiku. However, your’s is one of the best contemporary haiku I’ve experienced! Thanks.
“skinny dip–
a touch of moonlight
all she wears,
but moonlight
becomes her”
