Love Story

I once loved
I once cried
I once died

Love was like the wind
My heart a leaf on a tree
Blown away

Nice; Sounds like the story of my life. Like two leaves that the wind picked up and while being up - the same wind separated them, never to be together again. Happy Easter. ... Lucy

wow, I love a succinct little poem like this. I think if you only show the last three lines, you can call this a senryu. By itself it is enough to tell the story!!
