Let’s join Amber at Prettier than Napoleon and help make International Kissing Day a meaningful, enjoyable new tradition in the U.S.A.
update (July 5, 2008): See our post “let’s celebrate kissing and chocolate” for lots of information and more haiku and senryu relating to International Kissing Day (July 6) and Chocolate Day (July 7).
slow train
i lose count of the cars
when the woman blows a kiss
first kissa firefly blinks its way
toward mars
kissing…
a woodpecker works
the sugar maple
– from Bottle Rockets # 11 –
dog day heat
the subtle breeze
of a blown kiss
– from Full Moon Haiku (July ’05) –
good morning kiss
wing beats
of the hummingbird
Peggy Lyles from To Hear the Rain
first kiss –
the lilacs still heavy
with last night’s rain
billie wilson – The Heron’s Nest (April 2001)
faint pink lips
where someone kissed
the window
kissing moon goodnight
a gentle
drunk
David G. Lanoue from Haiku Guy: a novel
Kissing Day —
just as much fun
with our dentures out
her chocolate breath
mingles with mine —
easter sunset
his pop-fly
kisses the moon —
heading to second base

cloud-covered night–
no moon, no fireflies,
no goodnight kiss. .by David Giacalone – “Lanterns: a firefly anthology” (Edited by Stanford M. Forrester, Bottle Rockets Press, 2007}
