Onion
Searching for centre
Looking for the inner ring
Failing and weeping

One you have to think about so a great example of a haiku Dave and it could have as many meanings as an onion has rings. x
lovely stuff, dave.. really enjoyed this.. did make me cry a little,but onions do that - lol
bernie - winston i think knows more than me, but the haiku i was taught at university (perhaps wrongly) was a old japanese poem with three lines and dashes of 5 - 7 - 5 on the lines..
can somebody tell me what a haiku is please ..thanks bernie
Are onions the only vegetable that makes people cry? Maybe it's a defence mechanism to stop people eating them!! (Doesn't work - we are having shepherd's pie for dinner - including onions!) And I like this little haiku! xx

I'm with Isobel! A gem of a haiku, using the concrete 'onion' which symbolically can take you anywhere your own experience or intellect wants to go.
