Will you haiku my Valentine?

Via etsy
Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
What's Valentine's Day
without a haiku for you?

These are not all by me but in collaboration with one of my most creative friends.  They were not written in this order but sequenced after the fact on purpose.  I hope you'll take it upon yourself to write your beloved a sweeter Valentine's Day poem than the ones we decided to snark your day up with today.


Haiku #1

"Valentine's Day?" ::scoff::
Yeah, me neither, I replied
Inside I crumble.


Haiku #2

So much potential
Another disappointment
Here we go again


Haiku #3

When your momma said
"Anything that's worth having..."
You should try harder.


Haiku #4

Single girl mantra:
Bluebell fixes everything
And shoes are low fat


Haiku #5

Blush pink, lipstick red
Leather, lace, and sexy things
All this for 7 min?

  1. Proposed alternate endings:

    #1 - Then a weird gift came.
    #2 - For those I reject.
    #3 - Arrives when it should.
    #4 - So I don't have to.
    #5 - Unforgettable.

    I enjoyed the Valentine's Days of my youth...celebrating friendship.

  6. My favorite variation on the classic "Roses are red..." was this one: "Roses are red, violets are blue, if you have a Valentine, I hope she gives you Herpes." I saw it a million years ago (like, early 2000s!) on livejournal and it has literally stuck with me ever since. Cracks me up every time. xo
