These haiku were all originally published in my book Pirate Haiku in 2019. This is about as romantic as I can get in this year of plague and doubt. I hope you enjoy these fun little poems. You can buy Pirate Haiku on Amazon.
gazing out at sea
my thoughts turn to you back home
did i leave my hook?
joan’s the one for me
doesn’t care what i call her
name might be marie
my man loves me true
he’s proud of his pirate gal
if not—run him through
sailors and lovers
are the world’s greatest fools
make me twice the fool
got your name tattoed
across my chest right before
i got your letter
However you choose to celebrate (or not celebrate), I hope you have a delightful Valentine’s Day.
Be the poetry you want to see in the world,
Jason
