haiku for Valentine's Day

#1 Post by Billy » 15 Feb 2017, 06:07

Valentine's Day
a ghost
shows up


valentines--
i've got only one
to send


valentine--
a candy heart gone
before day's done

Thanks Michael. I actually like the last one best. It has a much deeper meaning about Valentine's Day than its simple statement.

Michael, I like the ambiguity of:

I've got only one
To send

Thanks Bob
