forget me not
but why
why should you remember me
is it because
i breezed into your lives on warm breeze
one cold winters day
or is it because
this life so fleeting
we need to
just pause
and remember
those precious souls
who crossed our paths
for a reason as yet
unknown

i remember what you said now forget me not , thats wot made me write this little section lol , you said the name forget me not was less to do with the flower than the actual sentiment of ‘forget me not’ or something like that lol xx

I remember reading this particular haiku a long time ago, is it Ezra Pound ? Maybe not but it will come to me……

hi VergissMeiNicht

I’d call you FM but that might sound like you could only be read in stereo. Sorry didn’t mean to imply plagiarism, which can be rather a hard concept to prove, but do know those lines from somewhere……….meanwhile the IKEA school of literary criticism is alive and kicking and working overtime on my stuff.

I never compose in the shower though. That’s the time for shaping my hair into a mohican, singing some rocking polynesian gospel into the nozzle, and blowing kisses at myself in the mirror – all somewhat of a family tradition you see.

Anyway keep up the fine work (there is already a long-running thread for the budding poet/poetess here in Arts btw) and it’s all good.

yours
