Alexey’s haiku:
day after Valentine’s –
red petals on the floor, and
a broom in the corner
Inspired me to the following 2 senryu.
on her doorstep –
a broken heart forgotten
day after Valentine’s
day after Valentine’s –
beer became his company
on her doorstep
My own picture
With a haiku like this I had to reuse this picture I took the day after Valentine on a business trip to Seattle. It tells me a whole story that fit so well with Alexey’s haiku.

The plight of the broken hearts is so well-pictured in your words.
-HA
You show both sides of the story so well…especially pared with the picture
I agree with Bryan.
neat photo and lovely cascading words ~ sad but part of life ~ carol, xxx
Really like your haiku. Would like to participate in this one. Must think.
day after Valentine’s~ roses still bloom~ scent persist~ with limp valor
Indeed dear friend…
I can’t think of anything sadder than a doorstep littered with forgotten valentines…
Valentine’s #1 and Valentine’s #2
Great set of senryu Bjorn … very much in touch with Alexey’s haiku. Valentine’s Day isn’t always joyful.
What a sad picture you painted with your words!
Real sad picture!
