This is a difficult contest. Honestly I don’t think a lot of writers will be able to do this one. If we get responses on this one, I’ll honestly be shocked. Welcome to our 2022 The Only Love Haiku You’ll Ever Write Contest. We call it this for a couple of reasons. 1. Writing love poetry is more difficult than most people think. 2. Writing a Love Haiku isn’t something a lot of writers spend much time doing these days. I guess I’m saying not only is it difficult, it’s also, in many cases, thankless. Se this contest can be your incentive. We are giving away 1 month of promos to the winner.
You haiku must be warm, moving, and it can even be a little sappy. If I get a tear in my eye from reading it, you’ve probably won.
-Poem must be 5,7,5
-Poem must about love, warm, moving.
-Haiku must be great.
-Enter as many times as possible.
-Deadline is May 1st 2022.
-Put the Haiku in the comments below.
-Include a title!
Make sure you at least include an email where we can get in touch with you.
The season for love is here, but we are running this until May, so entering early could help. A lot of people will be reading your poetry for the upcoming Love Day. So please write your best haiku. Post it below, and good luck.

Love sexy yet strong.
Where comfort is found around,
place there in a kiss .

Compassionate kind,

That bond together.

Hugs and Dishes
Ok, let’s see if I can
Do the dishes with
My love draped all over me
On Second Thought
We did look good together
Our reflection on
The museum-mirrored wall
Nipping at the Bud
My anxious feeling means I’m
Serious, one-way
Or the other, we will see
Love Tally—Keeping Score
What we have in common:
We’re both Capricorns
We are both youngest born
We’re single, intelligent, educated, sincere, thoughtful, honest, loyal, passionate and responsible
Differences:
Everything else
The Meaning
This poem means I have been
Thinking of you all
Day, all night, all day, all night
A Woman with Cakes like Yours
Angel’s food or devil’s food
Either way we’ve got
Cake, moist, delicious, so sweet
Angel Wings
Your legs wrapped around me tight
Like big angel wings
Warming us on a Sunday
Love Lace
It’s so nice to have someone
To write poems to
Like kisses for the senses
Living in America
You are the whole package
She told me cause I
Can dance to James Brown music
Frosting on Her Cake
There is something I’ve wanted
To ask you, what do
You think about birth control?
Serious Fun
You are so much fun because
We are serious
Having fun is serious
Who Would Think
Beneath your buttoned collar
And professional
Air is lingerie for me
She Wants More
She is a lively soul that
Woman of mine, fear-
Less she smiles, enters my life
The Color of Power
Afternoon light thru raindrops
And shining wet leaves
Subdues my room with power
I Forgot What?
No, it was you, I
Haven’t had sex like
That in how long, wiped me out
Morning
She is a natural beauty
My sweet China doll
Strong legs wrapped around me tight
But At Night
She loves me she says she does
Hugs me all day long
Her hips rumble beneath me
Happy New Year
You’re making me cum just by
Touching me, she said
She shook and I pressed harder
Burnt Me
A gray rainy day today
I’m not pretty. You
Are, your smile burns right through me
Sexy Girl
You just want me for sex, I
Told her. It’s true, she
Said, but Ok, I’m a girl
Night Vision
You are mine now. You love me
And I love you too
Please, please sleep with me tonight
No Date
You’re with a friend from back when
The Super Bowl plays on
No you and me, not tonight
So Much Better in Person
You’re not the same on the phone
No body language
Nothing for my eyes to do
Deja You
I’m talking to myself a-
Gain, thinking of you
Roast duck sandwiches and bed
Jules says
…a flutter
anticipation
for the surprise grows; my heart
a flutter for you
© JP/dh
Jules says
…endless
I already know
that your love for me is deep
your well is endless
.

Teresa says
Title: unconditional love
Heart opening wide
Furry paws running carefree
My forever friend
Peggy Gerber says
Marriage Vows
Changing bandages
holding hands during chemo-
for better, for worse
Jules says
…double blessing
pair of beating hearts
twins born on Valentine’s day
a double blessing
John (Jake) Cosmos Aller says
That day met my fate
That day met my fate
When she came into my life
No longer a dream
Eight years of Love Dreams
She haunted my dreams
For eight long years she was there
In my nightly dreams
When she came to me
When she came to me
I was lost and she found me
Taking charge of me
Red is the color
Red is the color
That inspires my love for her
Our passion is red
The date I met her
The date I met her
I will always remember
I became her love slave
Brian Rohr says
Title: ‘…do us part’
Fresh baked honey bread
remembering your laughter
I miss your warm touch
Jules says
a different love loss
so brief, mother’s love
for her daughter kept in the
dark about her death
Kristina Pudlewski says
Content Love
With you I am whole
I no longer lust for love
I am at peace now
Shantra says
Adore.
Tip of tongue traces
Your fine vermilion border
Loving sweet cupid’s bow.
Shantra says
The Magic.
In our deep tumble
All dissolves to reveal the
Oneness of our Love
Jules says
bearing…
grandchildren; they are
the next generation of
love’s extended life
(and)
seasonal advantage
earth’s awakening;
spring – light lifting our gray moods
longer days to bloom love
Jules says
Corrected count for
seasonal advantage
earth’s awakening;
spring – light lifting our gray moods
longer days for love
Shantra no says
His First Love.
Oh, you found those shoes
Hope they fit with room to grow
Put them on and dance.
Alan says
Eternal Love
Such joy she doth bring
We won’t be just a short fling
Of her I will sing
Alli says
Calling One Angel
ten centuries left
for me to find you on earth
soul mate of heaven
Jen Schneider says
On Habits Baked of Love
Table set for two
His favorite brisket and beans
Woman eats alone
Jen Schneider says
Past Paws on Pavement
woman walks at dawn
empty dog leash in right hand
recollections warm
Jules says
living retired
yes, living retired
we sexagenarians
have more time to love

ChaseLi says
those eyes of yours
sublime as the stars
tender as the crackling flame
gazing in your eyes
LURA BUTLER says
Love hung on a cross
It was not His cross to bear
It belonged to us
LURA BUTLER says
He has done me wrong.
How often shall I forgive?
Seventy times seven.
LURA BUTLER says
You speak to my heart
And without saying a word
My heart responds back
John says
L-O-V-E
After we parted
Life became unlike before
Rightbefore we met
Ntia David says
Love Haiku confusion……
Love is difficult
love is very powerful
I love that i love
Jules says
Hope you folks are OK…
I enjoyed reading the Love haiku that everyone submitted.
Glad I’m not one of the judges 😀
