Paul, you are always clever with your words in poetry and their meaning - careful this love is fragile, almost the same as walking on a wet slippery path. Wonderful Haiku. Hugs warm regards and blessings, Jenny.

Ah, you make me want to go out and do a pirouette in the rain with my silk slippers Paul, hope your keeping well, and that God is granting you His benevolent protection, until this is over, we need to stay strong. All the best.

Enjoy your pirouettes, Vienna, but don't overdo it...it could be slippery out there :) Yes, Divine protection will go a long way in keeping us free from danger. Hope you are keeping well, my friend. Tanti auguri per il nuovo anno!! Ciao /x/ paul

Dear Paul: Nicely done with a touch of finesse my friend. How are you in Malta? I’ve been away from Poetry Soup for about 9 months. Needed time to focus on my Very Very Short Stories. Now I am back with my daily writes and posts. All the best to you. Leon

Hello Paul Callus, this lovely. i did not know that a Haiku can be written in a romantic way. Love is wonderful when it goes right. Regards Darlene

Paul Callus

Yes, it can be, Darlene; as you can see it was based on a nature prompt (the 1st line). Thank you for a lovely visit. Regards // paul

Love is like a slippery path, after a gentle rain. Tender thoughts indeed. You certainly have a way of caressing the moment, with only a small amount of words. I am in complete awe. This is beautiful and emotional, all at the same time. Many wonderful blessings to you. :) Hugs, Brandy

Paul Callus
Date: 1/15/2021 11:22:00 AM

oh so true Paul! Happy new year to you and your lovely family... we are in lockdown as we now have the virus in the community, everyone is adapting very well (after the initial 3 days of panic buying) i finally got bread as the shelves had been stripped like frenzied pirhanas - i think there's go to be a poem for me to write about that lol:-) hugs jan xx

Paul Callus
Date: 1/10/2021 1:47:00 PM

Unfortunately the virus found its way there, too. You will soon get used to the situation, but panic buying would get to me. Our positive cases (and deaths) keep increasing. Some people are being given the vaccine, but the process is very slow. Take care. regards to all. Hugs // paul
