večerna zarja
poskušam ne misliti
na njegov poljub

(the slovenian version of this senryu is slightly different in meaning)

WOW!!! Is right!! Bad kisser or too good to be true. Either way kind of sad.

I like this — there are so many possible reasons for trying to not remember the taste of a kiss! The image is a wonderful fit.

aurora: i'm sure you guessed what i was going for here in the first place :)
thanks!

kai: thanks, ppbfly :-)

charlie: yes. definitely one of the possible interpretations.

ts: yes. mystery, too :)
hvala :)

pat: you know how i feel about your wows. could be either way (but i'll keep it my secret :)) thank you!

grish: powerful? good. thank you!

margie: i love wows, especially from a lady like you. many thanks!
sad... yes, that too :)

masago: too much like a soap opera but sometimes i have to keep you entertained :)
thanks

mb: you're quite right, there are.
thank you.

floots: in this case the english version is more multi-layered than the slovenian one. i love mushy :)
thanks


bearded: thank you.
i'll try to explain...
the slovenian version if rendered literally would not look too elegant:
(večerna zarja
poskušam se ne spominjati
okusa njegovega poljuba)

so i changed a few things to make it sound better but lost some meaning in the process.the literal rendition of the slovenian version would be:

evening glow
trying not to think
of his kiss

not quite the same, no?


richard: the inspiration for this one doesn't have much to do with romance :)

andrew: your OOOH is greatly appreciated. thnak you!

john: thanks, john.

neikka: ja, blogger je danes ful nepredvidljiv... problemi na vsej črti.
hvala za kompliment :)
