HaHa. I love this as much as I love pickled onions. No haiku expert, but surely you have cracked it? - Now you have made me think about how eating a pickled onion is just like life...! Well done.

Good, Jennifer!! Those very bare bones of a poem say so much. I love Kirsty's simile

Have a lovely, lovely holiday.

I think that's wonderful! I might have put the first line last but you certainly captured the experience and it's very in the moment indeed Well done you!

Well thanks girls!

My daughter's home made pickled onions are like that.

I'll take a notebook away with me and write a few, perhaps.

I sure will try, Robin.
