Salty like hot dogs (and tears). Sweet like marmalade (and life).
Rants, humor, sarcasm, and a haiku-like substance? It's hard to know what's going to come out of our minds next.

The style of the poem reminded me of Haiku, a Japanese style of poetry written about the Seasons
Aug 19, 2017 @ 21:27:36
I do a lot of Haiku, they are three line poems in the form of three lines. The first and last line having five syllables the middle line having seven syllables. Making 17 syllables. The Tanka is similar but has two extra lines with seven syllables in each.

Very good, Willow.
Aug 19, 2017 @ 19:10:33
Thank you my first attempt 🌹
Aug 19, 2017 @ 22:20:17
perhaps,
because I’m
romantic, I think
of love pain, as
rapture.
pain
of unrequited
love truly hurts,
cheated on being the
worse.
Loved yours!
Your pingback link took me to the challenge page but didn’t show there? Mine didn’t either? Help…
Aug 20, 2017 @ 07:01:47
I am not sure why the Pingbacks didn’t work. Do you have a page that you pay for? That can confuse Pingbacks sometimes. Sorry can’t help on that one but I think finally we have got there in the end. Your two answering Elfie are beautiful. 🌹
Aug 20, 2017 @ 07:07:58
