anti v-day poem -haiku format



It's that special day:

candles/chocolates/roses

romantic playlist

the home cooked meal? Check

everything looks perfect

mellow mood is set

The colour is red

petals scattered on the bed

what more to be said.


Tonight will be be great

I mean, look at his effort-

went all out this year


Keys turn in the lock,

she's arrived! Quick. Find a spot

look on her face..... -shock

Not a smile. A frown

but what the hell could be wrong

wait... he hesitates,

Steps out of the dark

'Hello Sweetheart' - a light kiss;

rekindle the... spark


'What's all of this?'

'it's Valentines Day honey'

'and....... Who give a shit?

Must we celebrate?

sorry, it's been a long day

I just want to sleep'


Dejected. He's sad

a surprise turned on it's head-

he'd even prepared,

Strawberry cheesecake,

the wine was chilling with ice

'This' was to be nice...


Feeling blue, she said

'You give me your love all year-

that is what matters,

this commercial day,

is of no significance

our bond stays strong


love you baby,

you're the world and more to me

...they hold each other

Affectionately

and make way to the bedroom

all else forgotten.


In case you don't know what haiku format is; count the syllable every three lines. 5-7-5
