Thank you so much Eve! I am so glad you liked this Valentine's tanka. I always associate these two flowers with Valentine's Day - they seem to embody the caring love of friends and family along with illustrating the history of St. Valentine. Hope you had a wonderful Valentine's Day my friend! Sending you bunches of blessings in roses and violets.

Hi Valsa! What a wonderful perception! Love is truly ageless, never wrinkles or has sore joints! This was such a wonderful opportunity to view love through the lens of two favorite Valentine's Day flowers. Thank you for your best wishes. Sending you many blessings!

Tom, thank you so much! After thinking about the symbolism of the rose and violet everything seems to have fallen in place. I'm so glad you enjoyed it! All is well. Just putting the last pieces together to finish the repair and remodel after the fridge flood! Hope you are staying warm and healthy my friend! Sending you blessings for a happy Valentine's Day. Over Fork Over!
