A tiny beach shack
Sitting on sandy soft land
Nestled near the waves
+
A farmer’s green field
Land his family has owned
For generations
+
A ship lost at sea
Precious land in the distance
Cannibals await

Decorated with candles
Time to make a wish

Blushing bride and groom
Sharing a small piece of cake
On a happy day

She looked at the cake
Decided to cut a slice
It started to bleed

Great anticipation
Rare total solar eclipse
Day becomes the night
+
Are you guys excited for the eclipse today – 8/21/2017? Me, I honestly keep forgetting about it. It is a pretty cool thing to witness, but I’m so busy with life it just slips my mind. I thought I might write this Haiku today in order to celebrate this monumental moment. Are any of you doing anything special for it? And I hate to do this, but I have to. This song must be played loudly today. I truly do apologize. I really do. I still remember when this video used to play on MTV and other channels back in the day. I am getting old.
Taste of sweet honey
Dropped across your naked flesh
Pleasures exploding

Taste of hot coffee
Caffeinated rocket blast
Helps to start the day

Taste of human flesh
Monster feeding greedily
Upon its victim

Under a blue sky
Softly laying in the grass
Watching the white clouds

Under a night sky
Looking at all of the stars
Captured by beauty

Under a grey sky
Lover’s seeking protection
Inside a bus stop

Pirates buried their treasure

Behind the white wall
Rips, tears, multiple scratches
The rats had found them
+
Hiding in the wall
Worried that they might be found
Nazis on the hunt
+
She fought against love
Putting up walls around her
Protecting her heart

This song has nothing to do with this post.
I’ve just been singing it since I read the prompt word for the week.
Lake’s mirrored surface
Disturbed by a thirsty bear
Looking for a drink
+
Glass mirror reveals
A hard life the man has lived
The scars of his age
+
Mirror’s reflection
Revealed the long dark hallway
Something standing near

Stealing her young innocence
Filling her with lies

I had to post something about KISS.
I mean the prompt is Kiss after all.
This is a nice mood setter for this Haiku.
Yielding to her will
Man accepts the tight handcuffs
Submits to desire

Astronaut sees many stars
The Earth bathed in light
