Liebesleid

LIEBESLEID Love’s sorrow Not like a dagger thrust Blood will congeal The cut will heal A loss of love though? Injures the very soul Mortal mind may forget Liebesleid eternally says “not yet”

I'll download it to you with love. Of the hundreds of Haiku, Tanka and other short forms I've put together there are a few good ones. Of these I'll probably do a little reworking, plus add a few new ones. Love, Dave

An delightful write, Daver. I don't think there can be more sorrowful, than the bereavement of losing a loved one. "Liebesleid" would surely be a balm to the soul. Wishing you and yours the best! Mikki

How true, Daver. We contend better with the hassles couples incur in their lives together than we do when we face a breakup. Well said! Love, Carolyn
