Daver Austin Poet Tanka

Valentine Package

VALENTINE PACKAGE

Plea.

in this deep freeze, dear
this cold region – michigan
i must make it clear
limbs are frozen all the time
please melt the ice, valentine

Forever Yours – plus that old time candy

i’m yours forever
struck with love like a dumb ox
cannot be clever
no sweet candy in a box
can top my love forever

Lost Valentine

the wind is howling
rain pings against my window
i’m feeling so low
part the clouds dear valentine
let in your ray of sunshine
