HAIKU DIALOGUE – Ad Astra – the planets - December 1

 

Venus
the sweet sound
of her name

Florin C. Ciobica
Romania

Venus was among the popular planets for this prompt, understandably so — beauty and love provide so much of our joy in life. Ciobica captures this feeling well; whether the name Venus is sweet or the sound of a lover’s name puts the poet in mind of the beauty of Venus, the poem hints at the mythic wonder of desire, sighing with pleasure at the mere whisper of a name.
