February 2018 -- Some Thoughts on Valentine's Day


 
 
Valentines: A Romantic’s View
You ask, I answer.
Love, as if a butterfly,
Spreads its wings to soar.
 
Valentines: A Pragmatist’s View
A day for unloading
Red, heart-shaped boxes
Full of bite-sized temptations
With anonymous centers.
 
Valentines: A Child’s View
Twenty-some cards with labored signatures
Carefully deposited into twenty-some white bags
Painstakingly covered in pink and red hearts.
