Be wary of fire
The heart is combustible
It smolders, then scalds

Yes, where there's smoke there's fire, whether it's heartburn from a well seasoned tamale, or a 'well seasoned tamale' of the female gender.

Just one of many interpretations of your fine senyru/haiku. Enjoyed the read JerryPat.

Been gone for a long time - I see the old #49 is closed, though open for replies.

Might as well be here too to join. I've got an acute attack of inertia, though. Words fail me.

Love this haiku - but the writing of it still stumps me.
