Haiku is a type of short form poetry originally from Japan. It consists of three phrases with 17 phonetic units in a 5, 7, 5 pattern.
love came to millions
who found mates on match.com
hey, it sounded good
it worked, so why not?
-----------------------------------------------------
This was what I had planned on posting.
Phooey! I don't even know and am past match.com.
I suppose that with all the previous cavalier and I-don't-care-anymore postings on love, there is still a vestige in me that believes in romance, if only as a nostalgic memory. It is what makes love poignant.
Thus, I end the series with these lines that were recently shared by a dear friend.
You shall not forget, for I am past forgetting
I shall come to you again
With the starlight, and the scent of wild champakas,
And the melody of rain.*
What more is there to say?
I concede.
Love remains.
