cut flowers
the short life
of compliments
—DEBBI ANTEBI
Neat verse, and poignant. The word 'cut' reaches extra depth with the following phrase of the short shelf life of compliments, be it in a relationship, or in general.
Wonderful verse! And subtly powerful.

Dear Alan,
Thank you for your valuble feedback. This poem came from a personal place, and I'm happy to see that it resonates with you and others.
Warm regards,
Debbi
Thank you to both you DEBBI (and to Alan.)
Your haiku brings our own transcience into play on many levels. And it's always good to be reminded of how short-lived our success or our failure when writing.
Nicely done. And so very true!
Many thanks, Michelle.
Thank you, Laura!
Even to a haiku newbie, as I am, it hits a homerun! Thanks for sharing.
You nailed it, Debbi! :)
