In my last book Dragons & Rayguns, I had a series of 8 funny scifaiku for Valentine's Day called "Curious Candy Hearts." (Well, Dad jokes, really.)
Today, just for fun, I wrote 3 more.
Edward Scissorhands
snip snipping red heart doilies . . .
ouch! some blood mixed in.
Frederick FRONKensteen
and Eye-gor holding hands . . . ugh
says Frau Blücher. (Neeiiiigh!)
Flash Gordon and Flash
(Barry Allen) . . . Valentines
in the — sorry! — flesh.

If you click on the photo below (magnify it), you can read all 11 together. In case you can't, here are the ones from the book:
Curious Candy Hearts
steel Pinocchio
chrome heart, telescoping nose
robot Valentine
dragon lovers' tails
twined like a Valentine heart
in air, flame kisses
shield shaped like a heart,
sword-and-sandal warrior
wields pink battle-ax
spaceship skywriting
BE MY VALENTINE across
the star-strewn black void
Bride of Frankenstein
gifts a box of chocolate hearts
to Valentine Boo
Valentine's Day ball
in Area 51:
ET's bright red gown
zombie scarfs candy
hearts that say XOXO
and taste like fresh brains
Valentine's snowstorm:
each snowflake a red lace heart
in pink Martian sky
