Sweeter

Sweeter happiness appears to the lips that have tasted the bitterness of life!

Ah, yes, dearest Demetrios.. how can one truly savor the sweet life if one has never tasted the bitterness of strife.. a profound monoku and a lovely photo. Warmest wishes my friend.. ~Susan

Hi Demitrios, You are a poet of a few but overwhelming words and phrases. Greece has got the most amazing scenery, a great deal of course is historical. Some scenes/sites bring sweet yet bitter thoughts whilst others sad thoughts which have once been sweet. If one can combine and capture both of these in one photo - Bravo! Think its time for a visit! Yasou, Jennifer.

Absolutely, the more we experience bitterness, pain, sadness, hunger, thirst - both, literally and figuratively - much and much more we appreciate bliss, and every single blessing granted to us.. a very profound and brilliant Monoku dear Demetrios. Always looking forward to reading your insightful poetry. My deepest regards. Be blessed always.
