V-Day

No hearts, nor flowers

I don’t need either of those;

I’ll take chocolate!

Watersh*t Down*

Easter Bunny came
To our back-yard bearing gifts—
His chocolate drops.

*Is this too rude for Easter? The title references the novel by Richard Adams about a colony of rabbits.

V-Day

My love showers me
With chocolate and kisses—
Felines eat flowers.

Come Valentine’s, one’s
Hope for hearts and written lines—
Just dries up sometimes.
