Hopeful or Hopeless?
I'm in love with love itself.
This, I must confess...

Hah cool! Thanks for linking this for me. Great minds think alike, or whatever they say about that 😉
Relatable for sure.
Being in love with love. I feel that's a good thing! Loved your Haiku!
This is a thought provoking Haiku associated with a mind bending photo. The image is clearly upside down and the poem confesses love for love’s sake rather than someone or something. The traditional expression is hopeless romantic and yet the poem leads with hopeful as if giving the reader a choice. Can I ever lose if I’m in love with being in love?Of course once I congratulate myself for solving the puzzle the warning bells sound. Feel free to tell me I’m off by a country mile. Loved the poem and the photo, Rowan!
Both in equal measures maybe? Must say; that image is amazing!
This is so good! Nicely written :)
