Dear Subscriber:
Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of view. The theme for this week is Valentine’s Day.
Today’s poem is a humorous definition of a Valentine.
I welcome comments on my poems at http://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com.
Yours,
Nick Gordon
A Valentine is nothing like
A chocolate or a rose.
For in a week these shall be gone,
But Valentines remain.
If love were always sweet to tongue
Or fragrant to the nose,
Each day would be like Valentine's,
And we would go insane.
A Valentine just hangs around
Waiting to be kissed
Long after special days have passed
And every days are here.
So one is wise to choose one well
And chocolates to resist.
For in the midst of mania
It's nice to have one near.
