How do I love thee my friends?
Love notes in the mail
How do I love thee my friends?
most sincerely so
enclosed sculpted valentine
and message sent 'round the world.

This love note is written in Tanka.
I learned about Tanka from my Synchronizing friend Ruthie
(a form of Japanese verse in five lines of 5, 7, 5, 7, 7 syllables
which is older than Haiku.
Much love to all this day and always.
