Valentine’s Day is coming up — an ideal topic for my very overdue limerick and a haiku (senryu) prompt. First, my limerick:<\/p>\n

St. Valentine’s Day’s coming soon.
\nIt’s a choc’late and rose-sellers’ boon.
\nWill your loved one come through
\nAnd make festive ado?
\nOr just buy you a five-buck balloon?<\/p>\n

And now my haiku (senryu):<\/p>\n

St. Valentine’s Day—
\nOne day each February?
\nNo. Daily each year.<\/p>\n

Now, of course, it\u2019s your turn. Your assignment, should you choose to accept it, is to write some verse about Valentine’s Day. When you\u2019ve posted your poem(s), please return here and add a direct link to your themed poetry, using Mr. Linky. And please post a comment as well. <\/p>\n
