a ruby droplet

the yellow rose bears sharp thorns

we will still share wine

Thanks!

Just a simple ditty, playing off the fact that the yellow rose is a symbol of friendship. Also, the double meaning of the ‘ruby droplet’ as a being a drop of blood, which is occasionally drawn by the ‘thorns’ of friendship — and a drop of red wine, as a symbol of the blood of life, in this case, of the life of the friendship. 😉

Wonderful Haiku, ‘through thick and thin, stay and endure, like petals, like thorns’ is the message I recieved, beautiful, thank you. 😀

Excellent interpretation! Certainly right to the ‘spirit’ of my piece.

If we get hurt
remember friendship has painful moments
but we will remain friends

…is another interpretation.
