With two friends passing in the past week and another rushed to the hospital by his wife, I found myself in a melancholy mood. Because of that I wrote a haiku about failed love. It is not autobiographical in any sense. It does not involve me personally. It is a recognition of the transitory nature of some human relationships.

Failed Love
It was at the beach,
We wrote our names on the sand,
Waves washed them away.
Secondary roads,
Life is full of gain and lost.
Face it and let the sea water wash away those footprints.
Time to let go, just let go.
Best wishes to you.
Very well done with a simple yet heartfelt meaning and a great pic to accompany the poem.
The older I get the less I like answering the phone, so sorry for your losses.
Love it. And gorgeous photo.
That's nice, Chuck. Sad, but nice. And the photo goes with it so well.
Sorry you are blue about the pallies. You've had a rough time lately with the computer and all that loss. Bummer. Hope next week is a better week.
That's just beautiful Chuck, and I love the picture you found to accompany it.
Again, I'm sorry for the loss of your dear friends. I hope that your friend in the hospital is doing okay.

I appreciate your poetry, Chuck.
Prayers for you and the grieving whose loved ones have passed on.
Alas, if only that was the end of some relationships. Now, stop thinking like that!!!
