Like lemons, bitter

on the tongue, your caustic words

eat into my soul...

    Oooooooh, wonderful haiku, powerful message. One feels the shriveling spirit under the caustic biting words.....so well done. I forgot it was Thursday, had better get to making some lemonade:)

    So much in seventeen syllables, Lynette, and the picture is perfect. (Nothing sadder than a book abandoned outside.)

    Lynette,

    I felt a chill from your words...
    The very word 'bitter', seems to carry the message.
    Best wishes, Eileen

    PS: Thank you for your very kind comments regarding the Poets Life Interview.

    Wow, your words permeate my brain. Reminds me of harsh words, that I wish I could forget...

    I like this one. It's short and i like the way you've compared a lemon to harsh words. Indeed a combo of sour caustic and bitter.
