Perhaps, Naval Oranges from Florida would be Sweet enough...
or Honey in your Tea... who knows... interesting Senyru... Pat

[jacob erin-cilberto]

thank you for bringing this one back up, Pat.
I don't remember it...but then, I write 'em and leave 'em....move on I say...so always interesting when one that is seven years old pops up.
thank you

Now this is some senryu!
'poison confection' is just brilliant.

Was reminded of a Futurama episode where the main characters are condemned to 'death by snu-snu' by an alien race..

[jacob erin-cilberto]

thank you for your kind words, Stonz...

Sometimes we just have to take the plunge despite knowing it's hazardous.
'Poison confection' was a fantastic turn of phrase. Loved it.

Literally, diabetics at their old age would say " I would rather taste all the sweets now and die happy, than to crave and die hungry and sad."
Figuratively, a person who is madly in love will take all consequences of choosing someone over great things and possibilities in his life. Some hearts dream only to die happy with their love one.

Well-done senryu. Thanks for the share.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

and thank you for your insightful review, Dhaye.
