Haiku: Prince (2)

[More extracts from ‘Hallucination Rain’, the collected haiku of Prince.]


Temple

Love come quick
Love come in a hurry
There are thieves in the temple tonight


Snowman I

Snowman, snowman
Another Christmas gone
I got a chess game this time


Moon II

Did we remember 2 water the plants 2day?
Eye forgot to look up at the moon because
Eye was too busy



Graffiti Bridge

The love that comes
From a warm heart in a cold, cold world
Everybody wants 2 find Graffiti Bridge



Trouble Winds

Lady, don't ask questions
I promise I'll tell U no lies
Trouble winds are blowin'



Water

Wendy?
Yes Lisa
Is the water warm enough?



Animals

Animals strike curious poses
They feel the heat
The heat between me and U



Oh, Face

It's only mountains (oh yeah) and the sea
(And the girls say)
There's nothing greater (oh), U and me



April Snow

I know that he has found another friend
Maybe he's found the answer
2 all the April snow
