Betty Evrett and Cher knew....it's all in his kiss...or her kiss as the case may be. When the emotions run cold, the kisses are somehow different. So much said in these three lines! Lydi**

I love the way the Haiku make this simple poem so poignant. So sad when the goodbye kiss can be the coldest one...or the most ardent.

very true, Connie...very true.
Yes, some are good in reading signs. ( But some are good in assuming, too...wrong reading. Lol)
I feel sad about kiss of goodbye. Effective senryu though.
