Valentine card—
she smudges the hollow heart
of strawberry halves
--Alegria
Votes:*1**** Points:02
Comments: Wonderful phrasing of line 2 and 3. My interp was a young girl perhaps receiving strawberry halves as a v-day gift. The "Valentine card" of line 1 made me wonder if it was a drawing of a strawberry but since I love the idea of real strawberrys I wonder about changing line 1 to Valentine's Day.

-- Franklin Magalhães; Rio de Janeiro - Brazil
Votes:4***** Points:04
Comments: I wasn't sure if these were illustrated moths or damage to the card done by moths. I'd perfer it clarified but I still like the 'ku in either case.
