    —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.

    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.

    Cracker Barrel menu prices are so affordable. Cracker Barrel menu is so low that scraping the bottom of the barrel – or even your pockets, for that matter is the farthest thing away from your thoughts.

    Sonic Happy Hour: Ah, the memories. I used to be a carhop for Sonic when I was in high school. it was the good old times. I’d get up and wear a pair of skates, then skate to customers who generously tip me with large red trays that were filled with mints and food.
