Sweet and Tart – Haiku

Rodin's sculpture "The Three Shades"

Bitter, sweet, sour, tart

Are these flavours in my mouth?

Or my memories?

    Life is good and getting better. If you lived closer, I’d make you dinner and we’d have a nice visit

      That would be so lovely. I have missed my wonderful blogging friends during my hiatus. If you ever cross the sea to Australia you would always be welcome to say “Hi”. I could do kangaroo tail soup. (not really…it is
      an acquired taste) hehehe.

  Hi Ritu! I needed to “realign my zen” after a big life change and lost my writing mojo! Hope to start back again. Hope you are well and thriving in your part of the world and looking forward to catching up with blogging companions again.
