Skipping Valentines

No to Valentine's Day!

If there's a day I'd like to skip

and witness it no more,

it is the fourteenth day of Feb

which gives me quite a snore.

I hate the roses everywhere

and couples wearing red.

All lovers should break up at once

and not make love in bed.

 

 

I wish to sue the TV shows

that air out kissing scenes.

And lovestruck poets should be hanged

along with crazy teens.

There shouldn't be a single song

with lame romantic rhymes.

And dating should be labeled as

the greatest of all crimes.

 

 

Whoever dared invent this crap

deserves a room in hell.

Those people who participate

should be with him as well.

See, it's not fair that they rejoice

and grief is all that's mine.

'Cause this event reminds me of

my long-lost valentine.

Author's Note

Sorry for the vulgar word "crap". I want to use "nonsense" but it has two syllables. ;)

All I can say is I love it...you've pretty much said it all in the poem haha Well done :)

[Blue]

Thank you so much!

[Avinash]

Like most of the things people do..its just a fad. Agree with every line of your poem. Hope you did not mean all of them literally... :)

[Blue]

Of course. Especially the part when I said that lovestruck poets should be hanged. I'd lose my WC friends by then! Haha. Thank you for dropping by, Avinash.

It always baffles me how commercialism overrides the actual sentiment...be nice if Valentines was everyday and people just loved because it is needed in the world...instead of it being something once a year...feisty poem, love it x

[Blue]

Yes, I agree, Poppy. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

[Gleb Zavlanov]

Very nice poem, with perfect lyricism and rhythm. It's great to experience love, but it's every painful when it seems as if you're the only one without someone special. Thank you for sharing. I just had to add this to my library.

[Blue]

Thank you, Gleb! I've scanned your poems and they're good. I see that what you write is mostly sonnets! I'm a fan of that form.

[cycy]

hahahahahahaha oh Arzel,if i wasn't so in love i would join this anti valentine movement, your poem is great and i loved the rhymes too, well done :)

[Blue]

I'm in love, too. It's just that, the odds are against us. Haha. Thank you, Cycy!

[cycy]

welcome dear and i totally get you there, guess i could say the odds are against us too..but well, they are odd anyway, lolest..so who cares about them :)

[Frieda P]

Why Arzel, I do believe you have a bit of an attitude...ha, love the edge here, who needs that commercial holiday anywho. Nice going girl.

Lame romantic rhymes...oh my. ;-)

[Blue]

Haha. This is my kind of humor. And thank you for dropping by, Frieda.

[Frieda P]

Ha, mine too, we'll get along just fine. ;-)

[gabrielle]

Bitter much? Hahahaha! You'll get the ire of those who have been planning so long for this event. I will say this again, you could evoke different emotions effectively blue. I am laughing as i write this comment!

[Blue]

You are welcome.

Oh, I liked this one! You shown some spunk and fire and did it brilliantly. We've all had Valentine's Days like this, my friend. I remember writing poems like this (but not with your skill and mastery of words) back when I was a teenager. The poem made me smile, not at the bitterness and frustration voiced, but that you did so with such charm that I'm quite sure Cupid will ambush you soon with an arrow right through the heart.

[Blue]

Thank you, Eddie. Cupid has not disappointed us. ;) :)
