mawkish.

there isn't a need

for valentines

these days

paper only fades

and curls at the corners

paling past recognition, anyway

rather like

the heartful sentiment

that sent them in the first place

Ohhhhh.....while I found this superb in every way, you know me and my flair for the romance in life. Valentines the way we know it is a dirge on society and the pocketbook, but in creative ways, I think it is, at heart a great thought, paying credence to that which we adore in ways that keep the love burning. You always write from the emotional pocket of magic thats located just under the heart. Great writing.

Love is more actions and less words or materials... simply stated and so true.

This was so gentle and yet you said it all..beautiful..

This was very clever! I liked it a lot. Good work.

[The Analog Kid]

Nice short write. Straight forward but most of us will concur. Cards and paper are meaningless to me.

'make no oaths'...even the chocolate covered paper kind

Not sure I entirely agree but fully understand that thought - 'tis the person not the card that matters ..

Brief poem, much meaning .. fine writing!
