A Dinner

Image:1 An ideal al fresco dinner setting, for two
(Picture credit: Google images)

He had been meaning
to make up. Sadly it failed
Why it came to this?

No usual visits
He had looked forward to it
It stopped suddenly

He kept asking why
It just drove him up the wall
thinking about it

She was happy. It
was their anniversary.
They had planned for it

It was half way through
They were all drenched to the skin
A sudden downpour

She never forgave
him for insisting on the
Al fresco dinner

Written for Haiku Heights #154 with prompt meaning

  1. Lovely picture. I would forgive because it's a good idea that is fun and romantic ... Fun being in the rain with the one you love.

  8. What a harsh ending! But I suppose refusing to forgive makes anything but harshness impossible.

  9. I think the ending haiku is all you need to tell the entire story elegantly and succinctly!

  15. Courage for putting it out there..reality sometimes isn't what we'd like it to be..romantics at heart find this hard to accept and I am one..
