Kindled by the snow
By fuse lit from ice blade's edge
Burns the fun of mirth

Feelings Never Die
It is Valentine's Day again, and it bought back memories that were over fifty years old. It bought me back to 1971, and I woke up and I knew my baby was due today. I was big and pregnant, and I felt like I was about to burst wide open. Imagine my surprise when the doctor told my I had a due date of February 14. I couldn't believe it, and since my baby was due today, I felt I could indulge myself a bit. I had gained a lot of weight, and chocolate was on the no-no list, but I had came to the end of this pregnancy, and I hoped it would be okay, after all I would deliver this baby today. So I walked across the street to the grocery story, and bought myself, a peppermint patty, covered in chocolate, my favorite. Me and my Valentine's baby would enjoy it together.

Mirth for people watching me skate, yes. Terror for me on actual skates though. I am not a graceful skater and am envious of anyone who is. Great haiku. Good luck in the challenge.
You are so good with the play on words! This is brilliant!
Such beautiful imagery in so few words.
