The Sweetest Of It All



my mind swims in the
pool of memories, so sweet
Mona Lisa’s smile

  1. This intimate haiku makes the joy of memories, with the enhancement of one of the most difficult poetic license in English: you let the first line work an enjambment that gives Mona Lisa's smile the memory of the sweetness of syrupy honey!

    Congrats, BB! you have no equal in the haiku field!

    I love this one!!

    1. Thank you so much, Od. Your words mean a lot. :)

      I was making a break from the first line by thinking of something sweet and unique like Mona Lisa's smile which is timeless and I referred that to memories that will forever be sweet in my heart. :)

      You pamper me again but...I like it!! Thanks, too, for liking this Haiku. :))
