Poetry, Be Mine?

Roses are red, violets are blue, poetry is my fav & and so are you!

Okay, I'll admit, a bit cheesy but who cares. ITS VALENTINES DAY (or the day before ). A day for love and family, to celebrate relationships and the lack of for all those singlettes out there....But hey, being single is a love of its own too. We don't shame single daisies on the day of love, we embrace all with open arms with overly sugared donuts, flower arrangements, candy grams and chocolates!..... so... many.... chocolates. Sugarcomas are at high risk this holiday so tread lightly friends.

But for the sake of this lovely blog and the wonderful relationship we poets have with literature, THIS IS OUR DAY.

Yes we may have more heartbreak poems than anything else but its time to burn those pages, delete and recently delete those midnight notes, and give your lonely hearts words a nice big hug and kiss goodbye because this day. This loving day. Is for making up and forgiving. And maybe some you know what with the poet soul begging for attention. The poet inside of you worn everday like a marty mcfly windbreaker vest, (that i admit will NEVER go out of fashion) and those cut up tops that surprisingly look better than the dress it was designed to be because you are a trend setter! And even better, you love yourself.

So let the poet inside you be treated with kindess today. Drive 100 miles for someone other than the person that didn't deserve it. Go visit your childhood. Hand them a bundle of roses! Share your words with the little boy or girl that needed to hear, "I love you." Don't shut away the kindest parts of you because someone else didnt treasure them. Or becasue your words didn't convince the love of your life that YOU are PERFECT together and MEANT TO BE. Becasue no! Maybe your words weren't convincing enough to keep the reltionship with someone else together forever, but the person they CAN keep is with.......you guessed it....... YOU.

Love your poet Heart. Your poet Soul. Your poet Dress. Your poet kicks. Because today, of all days, is the day for love.

So write yourself a poem. And Keep it. Because you deserve it. Happy Valentine's Day.
