Hello again,

Sorry, I forgot to add copyright to my earlier PDF, which is plain silly. Here is my collection of Valentine’s Day haiku:

A Love Like Mine, Lost On The Ocean Floor

Thanks! Reposts appreciated.

Happy Valentine’s.

memories linger
saltwater stark on the tongue
suddenly, a dream
evaporates in the dark; still—
the universe smiles

A little sneak peak at my free book of haiku. How was everyone’s Valentine’s Day? What was the most romantic thing that you did?:

This is a screenshot of some haiku. Can someone point out to me how to make alt text for the entire PDF? Thank you.
