Here are a couple of poems about Valentine’s Day. They are in the Japanese form of senryu, which is basically the same as haiku, but with a people/person reference instead of nature.
Both are the same in form; it is their content which distinguishes them. They are normally short descriptive works of only 17 syllables. These are usually written in three lines of 5, 7, and 5 syllables. Modern variations on this standard can be found, and many poets write haiku and senryu in 3, 5, 3 lines rather than the traditional. Other variations can also be found.
Valentine’s Day 1
Everlasting love
Glows in the heat of passion
Chocolate hearts melt.
Valentine’s Day 2
Flowers and chocolates
Modern tradition of love
Make me feel special.
