Mama’s Boy
I’ve been a fiancé for four years and three months. We’ve been together for six and a half years total, and we have a two-month-old son together. I can’t help but think that we’ll never get married. We haven’t even decided on a wedding date. When I bring it up, he tries to escape the room as if he’s late for something more important.

Well done!!
I love the simplicity of this piece Cathy!!
Cathy, simple, spare, and brilliant!!!
I, like everyone else, now wants cherry pie. ☺️ But also, I love this. It speaks to me in a way that says, "just do it." Relief is sweet? Indeed. Awesome job, my friend! 🤗❤️
Hi Ch - We are surrounded with Cherry Blossom trees, but Nary a 'Cherry.' Having an Egg~Shell pie/wit a dollop. Thank you and Gerald for your well wishes. I'm back with vigor. Wrote a message of appreciation under my 'Wedded~Bliss' to the VocalVillage. - Always my Pleasure - j.in.l.a.
Even if the inevitable tasted like sour milk, never walk on eggshells
Great now I want pie. I know this wasn't the point, but pie.
But I don't like cherry pie. I want a chocolate pie. Oooo, make that a brownie please. Oh wait, how about a creme brulee cheesecake? I love those! Okay I'm getting carried away hehehe. Loved your Senryu!
I totally relates your words amazing small but having deep lesson
Brilliant. Liked it.
Pie, good. Me want pie! This clearly has a deeper meaning, but my stomach growling louder than I can think. Are you saying I will like confronting the people whose behavior causes me to tip toe around them as much as cherry pie? Me thinks you must write from experience. I’m from the American Midwest where walking on eggshells is an art-form.
Delightful! Just like pie! Well done! 👏
Thanks a lot. Now I want pie. ;-)
Sweet!!! 💕❤️❤️
Tasty take on life! So delicious. Why walk on eggshells indeed?
What?? Oh my - so original. I love it Cathy‼️😁
Ah, but it's like every flavour beans, don't know if it's cherry pie or rotting egg under there.
Fantastic Haiku!
YES WHY WOULD WE INDEED? Well done!
