Valentine Poem

Valentine Poem Trying to squeeze words out of my mind To make a valentine poem I can hear the wheels up there grind But all my mind does is roam It thinks about all kinds of things Except words to create a verse Mostly dwells on violin strings Thinking hard just makes it worse Why violin strings? I ask Does it want to make melodious song? That will be an even greater task So I try to hum along We have the melody but no words Have to have words to make song Sounds like a flock of chirping birds Is this going to take very long? Finally some words are forming Heart, love, red, be mine, forever At last my mind is brain storming Now let's put it all together My love be mine Let's never part Our hearts entwine Here's cupids dart Is that the best you can do? Let's forget this 'til next year Next Valentines day we'll start anew That is if you get in gear. Copyright © 2005 Lunaria (Lila May Guptill)
