Take a Break: Valentine Haiku and Mandalas

Following the 17th century Japanese 3 line poetry style; write a Haiku for your Valentines this year. The first line has five syllables, the second seven, and the third five (5 + 5+7). Need some inspiration? Below are some past Valentine Haiku

You: freckled, sleepy_
smiling in the morning sun_
Me: “want some pancakes?”
(Paravion Press)

Precious Valentine
you’re part of my Heart and Soul
’til the end of time
(Cynthia L. Castle)

If writing a Haiku isn’t for you, try coloring a mandala.

Lots of other Valentine’s ideas are in previous take a break posts.

Happy Valentine’s Day!
