Today will be hard for you
No matter how you pretend it won’t
Seeing cards will hurt
So will the couples who will be everywhere
Revelling in their togetherness whilst you are alone
So my gift to you is a packet of peanuts
Not for any romantic connotations
But as a memory of our phone calls
When you suggested them as a romantic gift you made me laugh
So in return on this day of personal sorrow
I shall endeavour to return your gift of laughter
Your friends are here, even if your loved one is not
We care and we worry
But most of all we want you happy
We love you the way you are and most of all
We love your sense of humour
So smile, be happy and be of good cheer
But most of all laugh and be glad to be alive
Who cares if you’re single on Valentines Day?

duddle146about 17 years agoGiving new meaning to the saying, "Little things mean a lot." So a Packet of Peanuts ~ why not?
Anonymousabout 19 years agoExcellent grammatical structure, with definite elements of Post-Revolutionist and Pre-Modern influence.

Bridget69about 19 years agoWith Valentines's Day being a lonely time of solitude for me, this makes me realize that what matters most on this day of frivolous romance, are the other people who matter most to you.
annaswirlsabout 19 years agoElsie, this is a refreshingly solid piece of writing in a season of fluff and fancy, sweet and non-nutritive. This is a poem that feeds what is needed, the soil instead of the petals. well done.
