On friendship and love (and Valentine's day)



Tell me now,
happy Valentines
why all your florid praise
and erudite verses 
somehow fail to wow? 

Could it be that love 
or friendship 
is not a summer's day 
or a red, red rose 
or the cooing of a dove? 

No, to me it would seem 
love is nothing less 
or more 
than two curls mirrored 
in black and cream
