NEH VII - Friendship Haiku

Mila said May 12, 2008, 12:30 PM:
 

Haiku dedicated to friendship, why not?

Serious or light, sane or crazy, anything goes.

But let's stick to the 5-7-5 rhythm.  Let's start,

You give, I receive
I care, deep thanks you express
The friendship haiku.

The friendship haiku
is a place to celebrate
two bodies, one soul.

LOL!  Janet, I was picturing you enjoying that line, at I was typing it!  I'm pretty sure we're all blazing some pretty progressive haiku trails in this forum, with language, subject matter and media that have previously not been associated with haiku.  I love and celebrate our horseplay and wordplay.  I also love when we get back to reverent distillation of deep meaning and true haiku art, and really knock one anothers' socks off.  Er… this will not be one of those:

I have to say, Wil, I'm amazed at the sheer artistic talent you display.  Case in point: pulling that meaning-packed haiku together encompassing the delicate topic of notifying someone about a personal appearance issue, managing to describe it discreetly and poetically AND condensing into proper five syllables and incorporating the previous line, perfectly!

I think I just received a deeper understanding of the art of haiku.  Through cameltoe. Wow.
