Jeffrey Winke


Haikus

erotic email
the pulse of the cursor
matches my own



after the summer fair
she strips to her
neon glow necklace 



             sunrise
   poking at the thermostat
remembering last night's heat



autumn drizzle
a chocolate bar
deep in my parka pocket



clock watching
the second hand ticks in
and out of the shadow



lakeside carwash
the snack machine
includes bait

there has to be more than one meaning to this
Simple, make it so that the reader has to imagine your emotions and feelings.

Well done, but who's counting?
I thought all Haikus have the same number of seventeen syllables
