Trust is a steep climb
Its pathway demands effort
But wow, what a view

Love without effort
Like kindness without intent
Castles in the air

A long-distance Valentine’s Day haiku:

Odometer climbs
Holding on till I see you
Totally worth it!

Chocolates for love
But must avoid all tree nuts
Makes shopping tricky!

You left ME, knowing
Twenty-three years together
Why are you so sad?

I’m eclectic,
Eccentric,
A little bit strange,
Whimsical,
Quirky,
Maybe slightly deranged,
I’m dreamlike,
Enchanted,
A fanciful sort,
Can’t come to the phone now,
I’m building a fort.
