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.

January 17, 2021 at 7:19 AM

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

Hi Leon!! I was wandering what had become of you!! So pleased to see you back in high spirits. Thank you for stopping by, my friend. Best regards for the new year. // paul

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

January 16, 2021 at 6:45 AM

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

January 10, 2021 at 8:35 PM

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

January 15, 2021 at 11:22 AM

Thank you so much, Brandy. I love your feedback and complimentary remarks:) If I may say so, you too are capable of saying a lot without needing to write at length:) Hope the new year will provide all you wish for. ~ Regards & Hugs // paul

Ah, the first sign of trouble in a relationship shows us just how fragile love truly is, Paul. Excellent haiku! A fave for me. Hugs, Carolyn

January 15, 2021 at 2:21 PM

Well said, Carolyn! Thank you for the feedback and lovely comments...and the fav! Hope you're keeping well and safe, my friend. Hugs // paul

January 10, 2021 at 1:11 PM

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

January 10, 2021 at 1:47 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

January 10, 2021 at 1:11 PM
