Mystic Rose Rose Poet Haibun

Dripping With Love On Valentine's Day

Mr. Langford owned a candy store that was slow all year round. 
Except for Valentine's day when it was filled with spangled eyed lovers
coming in for sweets and armloads of red roses in the shape of hearts.
red as a cherry sweet as a berry 
it was Valerie, Mary or Cheri  
sherry on the ferry, roses from Gasperi 
One day the truck did  not deliver the flowers on time. Poor soul sat forlorn to think and before he knew it, he fell asleep.  Into his dreams a Cupid came, snapped his fingers 1 2 3 , heartsie flowers everywhere.  
Quick now don't you tarry 
there are lots of girls to marry 
Cupid worked his magic, light and airy 
While a watchful eye went up the room was infused with a beautiful scent   
Cupid old boy you did it again, now I can pay my rent...
Lany old boy its a trick I deploy 
then he sang like a choirboy 
a Cherub Pillsbury Doughboy 
While the spangled eyed lovers came in once again.  To buy sweets 
and an armload of roses, dripping with love and little heart shaped buds
the whispered " I love you, do you love me too ?"

Victor Buhagiar January 22, 2022 at 6:34 AM The whole Haibun drips with sweet love. I have to be careful and stay home. Hugs. Mystic Rose Rose January 22, 2022 at 9:00 AM I know sweetie, I'd bring you flowers, but I'm too far, consider this a mental red rose, xo

Sara Kendrick January 22, 2022 at 4:42 AM Creative work you have penned. I enjoyed reading it. I have never gotten flowers for Valentine's Day. My husband planted me a Camellia one year which was supposed to take care of Christmas, Valentine's Day and my birthday. Sara Sara Kendrick January 23, 2022 at 6:21 AM Mystic, I appreciate the thoughtfulness. He and the children planted me a row of red tip Photinia one year for Mother's Day. I enjoyed those for years, but they had to be removed because of a disease that hit them. I still enjoy the Camellia. It blooms from November until after Valentine's Day. So, reminders that he loves me. Sara Mystic Rose Rose January 22, 2022 at 8:59 AM How sad, if I lived closer I'd bring you one single red rose to remind you how precious you are, and how loved, xo
