toothsome temptation

your lower lip pouts outward
sweet lure for biting

About Susan L Daniels

I am a firm believer that politics are personal, that faith is expressed through action, and that life is something that must be loved and lived authentically--or why bother with any of it?

  1. You write so much 🙂 it’s just I am too ignorant about poetry and too lazy to go through. But I can feel the feminine air here…
    This one is sweet. I would take out the first line and make it the title. Trimming a bit so every word counts.

    • I would trim the first line, but then it wouldn’t be a haiku anymore 🙂

      As an aside, I didn’t write a word for 17 years, so making up for lost time!

      • it’s all fine to practice and exercise even with zen as long as you love what you do
        then it’s play it’s fun then it’s zen :))

        • 🙂 I am all about the play and fun with the daily haiku exercise I have been doing–it is great discipline for me, as I am sure you have figured out I am rather on the “wordy” side 🙂

          Sadly, as I was using this poem for haiku heights, I had to stick with a 5-7-5 or a 3-5-3 format–I think your suggestion to trim the title does make this little poem so much better! Going to do it now that the date has changed 😀

      • Look at that–so much nicer!

    short but long in meaning and suggestivity! sweet lure for biting or nibbling? Bite suggests a passionate and physical intensity! Tough to decode, I must confess!

  3. Very vivid ! Good job Susan !
