haiku my way

this one did pretty well at the March Shiki Kukai...

winter romance --
crumbs at the bottom
of a cookie jar

I prefer the whole cookie myself, but I'll settle for crumbs. Sometime they are better than nothing at all :) Well done :)

Sad if that's all that's left. Too much passion, no substance?

i'd say winter romance was shared and enjoyed by the crumbs seen lol
needs another full jar of cookies lol

thom - i must agree with you :) and thank you

quilly - interesting, i didn't intend it to appear sad but yes, that could be an alternative explanation (i love it when the readers find things in my work i haven't considered)

lady - close enough :) but as i said, it is good to see people find different interpretations

ok, my thoughts on this: perhaps the lovers were approaching the winter of their lives and wanted to savour it till the end... their lives are not quite over but are approaching the end, just like the cookies in the jar. and sometimes the leftovers are the sweetest
