Valentines Day Haiku
Poem a Day in February contest
Author's Note: This was a three day Valentines Day haiku contest. It started last Friday and ended on Sunday.
Haiku was the format. Others did write poems but they weren't all Haiku. The others are still in the gift booklet that will be sent to the winners.
The top 3 are included below, including our own Mariann Carroll, who won first place.

For love, I searched
Crying out like the Coqui

Watch out! Here she comes
Run faster, hide, take cover
DUCK! It’s the arrow!
