This is exceptional, Deb! You keep writing these brilliant haiku and I’m in awe.
Oh thank you so much, trE. You know inspiration comes from weird places, lol, like the plate on my table that has 4 candles, lol. But I’m so glad you liked it!
It’s beautiful, Deb. It’s a good reminiscent form of writing in my head. Inspiration comes from everywhere. You’re so welcome.
You have four syllables too…nice subject though too. hope you’re well!
I was just about to say this, but it flows so well.
She has great flow generally and great haiku but cannot count for toffee lol.
Hey…. funny I did bookkeeping in my old life. Counted pretty well then. Seem to be losing my math skills. 😁
Ha ha.
And toffee is bad for your teeth! Haha! *rimshot* 😆 Haha!
Yeah but I love it!!! Especially coated with chocolate!!!!
I may get shot down here, but I do not like toffee. Not even sexified in chocolate. *gasp *
Please, let me live. Lol!
Sexified? Is that a word? Lol. I almost put up a sexified video of Beth Hart and Joe Bonamassa singing/playing Close to Mt Fire. Very hot. I thought it was too late to put it up though. Maybe some rainy cold day. Though it would have complemented your earlier poem. 😋
“Sexified” is a word in my head. Lol. Too late for ear candy, says who? That just made me think of what my Granny would say about lateness, “Baby, ain’t nothing out this late but the devil.” I always thought, “How’s does Grandma know if she never goes out after a certain time?”
Well Maybe tomorrow I’ll put it up. It’s a great blues tune.
*ducking*
Oh thank you Anita. I have fixed it! Glad you are still out there watching over me!!!😊
Someone has to…all that sun isn’t good for you. lol
lol. I think it is 3 late night in a row! I think I need to go lay in the sun!
Yeah, you do that….jammmy beggar lol.
Sorry, the whole thing was in the recommendation. Didn’t intend to read, but now that I have.
You’re kidding yourself, us or both. All candles burn out.
But it is a lovely romantic thought. Kind of like “that candle was doing the best it could ”
