Double Valentine Haiku Plus One Questionku

chilled bottle of wine
stockings hung over her chair
candle lights the way

naked on his bed
she pretends to be asleep
a valentine treat

he comes to her
a single red rose
will she be satisfied?


For Linda's Contest

haiku 575

questionku 456 ending with a question.

You set the scene for romance and filled the air with a sense of hesitancy. Simply stunning!

It's been a very busy day, Richard. Church, lunch with family, rest, and then outing with friends and family...just got home. Read this on my phone, but wanted to be calm so I could post. Stunning imagery. Satisfaction comes when you know you are loved despite....everything. Lovely...wishing you the best in the contest.

Thanks Eileen, I had a bit of fun writing this one. I hadn't written a questionku in a long time so I was pleased to see Linda incorporate the form into her latest contest.
