Erotic Haiku of Skin on Skin

The meaning of "erotic" varies greatly among the contributors to Erotic Haiku: Of Skin On Skin. To many, it conjures actual intercourse: foreplay, climax and an array of emotions afterwards. For others, it is linked only tangentially to the sexual act: watching a bee enter a flower, recalling a glance from another or the smell of someone's hair or skin smooth to the touch or a whisper in one's ear or the taste of something sweet on a lover's tongue. Finally, a few see the erotic in terms of humor through wordplay and unexpected juxtapositions. Such a broad spectrum of the erotic guarantees that all readers are sure to find something pleasing.
