HBH 23

All out of haikus!
Same Haiku Bar, but missing
My inspiration


Another one inspired by my great failed affair of 18 months ago!

Hmmm, have I posted this one before? It seems to me that I may have done; but I can't find where. Sorry.

I don't recall seeing it here or on the sister blog. Do you have a 3rd blog of which I'm unaware?

At 18 months, now?

Do you count the minutes, too?

Lost loves last forever.

No - no third blog!

Christ, you don't think TWO is enough work??

Jeffery Bernard - very amusing journalist, hopeless alcoholic, one of the first of my 'Unsuitable Role Models' to be celebrated on here - once managed an extended spell on the wagon.

He recalled that one of his friends had once asked him how long it had been since his last drink, and he replied something like: "14 months, 6 days, 19 hrs and.... 11 minutes."

I suppose love is a kind of addiction too. Not, I hope, that we are inevitably drawn back to the same people we've realised are bad for us; but it dominates our thoughts and feelings the same way, it brands our psyche permanently. And maybe we are doomed (blessed?) to return - to the addictive feeling, if not to the person who last inspired it. ("NEXT time.... I'm only going to drink rum!")
