The NaisaiKu.. Challenge
It’s been a lot of time spent in a hospital room this week – pop’s got a staph infection, but is much better, thanks – so The Tension has suffered a bit. My apologies to my early bird readers.
I thought I’d take the NaisaiKu.. Challenge. A NaisaiKu.. is usually made up of two Haiku length poems, the second being a reverse order or mirror image of the first with a CAPITALIZED TITLE inserted between them. Andy Sewina tries to build his in 17 syllables or less for each three line stanza.
Let’s give er’ a whirl:
Friends dance on edges,
dip their toes in swirling lust,
bliss, flesh, laughter, smiles
BLISS, FLESH, LAUGHTER, SMILES
dip their toes in swirling lust,
friends dance on the edges

I love the line 'dip their toes in swirling lust' - it conjures up a whole host of images for me.
