Infant Opens Eyes..


Haiku Heights Challenge.. Day 06  Promp: Kiss..
Two contrasting takes, today..

Infant opens eyes
Sick mother craves to kiss, holds
Temptation; Oh, God!


****

Carrying on with the tale.. as long as I can..

Elephant wants ant
To kiss him, she starts climbing
Gets tired, sleeps in ear..

    I agree with Gemma and Andy; but, Ramesh, what I always enjoy most are your funny and whimsical pieces! They are so charming.

    There may be reasons why the infant could not be kissed. A pity! The elephant is too hazardous a journey to climb? Beautiful verses!

    The Elephant's Ant -- the best Haiku ever! Here's the untold story:

    Ant wants Elephant
    to kiss her, he starts looking
    and can't find her lips

    Two great haiku.
    First one sad and poignant.
    Second one made me smile - delivering a kiss can sometimes be hard work.
