My Valentine Gift

Kisses long and sweet
A Valentine's Day promise
Of much more to come --
Words of love written in rhyme
Dinner will be late tonight.


Dedicated to my husband.

Kim, this was SO GOOD. You were able to pack a lot of good stuff into your tanka and finish with one of the best ending lines ever. (Carrie, also at number one, gave the other great ending line) BIG congratulations on your number one win.
