Haiku Based Stories
The idea came to me from N Fourbois, who asked if he might submit stories inspired by Haiku Alley. I agreed provided he quoted the haiku he was using in full and attributed that haiku to its author.
The stories here are chosen for totally arbitrary reasons. Some may have particular merit. Some may be literary gems. Some may catch my imagination. Some remind me of me. Some are simply "different". All hosted authors are the copyright owners of their own material. Copyright is not always explicitly mentioned in a posted story, but is always the author's property.
And so, to the stories. The haiku may be seen with all the others and their authors in Haiku Alley:
- Sister was my age. / This 'blond boy' made my loins rage. / He tasted better!
by N Fourbois. (Posted 6 June 2004) - Nude boys shower close. / I cannot control my dick. / It's dangerous here
by N Fourbois. (Posted 6 June 2004) - His smile conquers me; / I cannot resist his charm. / Lead me: I follow.
by N Fourbois. (Posted 6 June 2004) - Trees, black with cold rain;/ A year the house is silent -/ He has not returned.
by Grasshopper. (Posted 14 June 2004) - So close, yet so far-/ His beauty leaves me breathless./ Alas! I teach him.
Do not! Must not! Can't/ Tell you how much I love you -/ Look into my eyes.
I thought: "Don't go yet!"/Our eyes met, aching silence -/ He spoke: "I love you!"
by Grasshopper. (Posted 26 June 2004) - The door closed, at last!/ Take your time with each button,/ My hand in your jeans.
by N Fourbois (Posted 2 July 2004) - Alone in this room.../Hand pressed to the cold dark screen/What did I do wrong?

The mark of a good story is not grammar, not syntax, not even spelling. It's the ability of the author to get into your heart.
The authors here have been selected for that merit alone. The ability to reach somewhere special, and to make you live their tale as if it were you. Some make me laugh, other make me weep. But all get through my defences.
Write to each of them if you like their work. Please? As a favour to me?
