I get an image of the couple in a Chicago bar in the roaring twenties, seconds before a drive-by shooting. Which just goes to show how good your Haiku is, Paul. Well done.

Carolyn Devonshire

Oooh, this is very sad, Paul. It does seem like fate plays cruel tricks and takes away our happiness sometimes as soon as we find it. I'm sure Andrea will love this haiku as much as I do. As for peace - it IS a dream. I doubt we'll see it anytime soon. Love, Carolyn

Paul Callus
Date: 3/6/2015 10:14:00 AM

Hi Carolyn! Yes, this is so sad....it's supposed to be a romantic theme, but my inspiration took me to what is waiting behind the scenes. Glad you like it. As for peace ... a Utopian dream, but nothing is impossible. Love // paul

Hi Jan....I had a look at Andrea's contest and found that 36 out of 37 places had been taken up....quick look at the pictures, quick haiku, posted, clicked enter; 8 mins record!! In fact I'm still editing. I must go back and find out if I quoted the correct visual, now! Thank you for the 'like'. hugs // paul
