Valentines Day: a poem
February 10, 2008 by cattledog5
Valentines Day
Saturday. The dentist. I was paying
my bill when the girl at the counter
was given a bunch of red roses.
This made me think of you;
how the red petals were like
the red highlights in your lovely
hair; how they made the room
swing and how they belonged
wherever they had been placed.
Then I wanted to send you flowers
and I suppose a romantic guy
would have found a way
to get your address and surprise you
with them, but I didn’t do that.
So instead I just wrote you
this poem and I hope you manage
to stay warm on the fourteenth
which, I am fairly certain, is going
to be a cold day in February.
I like the tone and voice in this–I relate well to this!

Go in under “my account” at the top left and under edit profile you can add this web address. That way when you comment on other blogs–others will find you by highlighting your pic, etc.
Once again–enjoyed your poetry. Any published?
“how they belonged wherever they had been placed”
Expressed like a caress. ;)
This has led me to read more of your poems, which I’ve greatly enjoyed — especially “Le Quattro Stagioni”, with its polished lines and imagery. Thank you for this reading experience. Cheers.
