love, hot to the touch
still rough at the edges, yet
soft in its embrace
Today’s haiku was inspired by dVerse and the challenge to think about touch. Plus, I REALLY REALLY wanted to capture the essence of this photo from over at The Haunted Wordsmith.
How’d I do?
Got touch?

Very nice! Cows are like dogs, they love to be petted.

I loved the haiku and it’s textured depiction of love, and then I saw the photo, and it gave the poem a whole other dimension. That tongue! Suddenly the haiku was about mother and calf, for me.
