This is a sad ku, with play on the 'bitter' wind and 'sweet' smell of honey.
Bleak, bleak. I sent it to a beekeeper friend. Good work.
I do love this ku! I can smell the honey…
Ah yes. A bear got our hives recently, so this one is very personal. Great job capturing the sense of loss.
Bitter-sweet. Very nicely done, Ernest :-)
