We who with songs beguile your pilgrimage / And swear that Beauty lives though lilies die, / We Poets of the proud old lineage / Who sing to find your hearts, we know not why ... (James Elroy Flecker)

A tanka challenge ...

 

a tanka challenge

for Valentine’s Day: ‘write on 

not being in love’ –

but I'm never not in love

(albeit there's no-one new)



Form: tanka


I'm sharing this with Poets and Storytellers United at Friday Writings #114.

Self-Love on Valentine's Day


Self-Love on Valentine’s Day

I linger over smooth, dark chocolate

read love poems, reminisce ... and enjoy
a happy-ever-after movie on TV.

I give myself pink roses (traditionally
a symbol of friendship, not passion). 
The pink have the sweetest scent.
