Skipping Valentines

No to Valentine's Day!

If there's a day I'd like to skip

and witness it no more,

it is the fourteenth day of Feb

which gives me quite a snore.

I hate the roses everywhere

and couples wearing red.

All lovers should break up at once

and not make love in bed.

 

 

I wish to sue the TV shows

that air out kissing scenes.

And lovestruck poets should be hanged

along with crazy teens.

There shouldn't be a single song

with lame romantic rhymes.

And dating should be labeled as

the greatest of all crimes.

 

 

Whoever dared invent this crap

deserves a room in hell.

Those people who participate

should be with him as well.

See, it's not fair that they rejoice

and grief is all that's mine.

'Cause this event reminds me of

my long-lost valentine.

Sorry for the vulgar word "crap". I want to use "nonsense" but it has two syllables. ;)

i loved this one , yet i disagree with you cause valentine's day doesn't have to be just for lovers , like me , i spend it with my best friends girls and boys and share chocolate together , so don't be sad if you don't get a flower or rose , you can spend the day with your close ;) overall well done with the poem

Same here! I spent valentines with my girl bestfriend watching "Frozen" and eating junks. It was still fun without being boy-crazy.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts, Lovergirl.

Not exactly my favorite day either. Just another lonely day. Maybe you need someone special in your life. But this is a good poem that expresses your feelings.

I have a special someone in my life, Donald, and I'm very much in love right now. :) I was surprised myself when I came up with this poem that contradicts what I feel. Thank you again and again!

[TL Boehm]

Oh hun i am so sorry you feel this way, i use to feel this way also before i had Mark, i was to depressed to go out the house VDAY, seeing all those couples made me upset... made me think why am i not good enough to have an amazing guy for Vday? Why does no one want me? All in good time though hun you will find the guy that will have you writing a wonderful happy poem about valentines day. Hes on hes way sometimes there just slow, YOU KNOW MEN! WHAT CAN YOU DO!:p
You are such an amazing girl with such a talent for writing, and probably more talents for other thing's to, who wouldn't want you.

This was brilliantly penned another amazing write. I loved the way it rhymes its amazing your rhymes come naturally. It was very deep and emotional, and straight from your heart.
Great write hun :)

Oh my goodness! I'm flattered, Cimmy. Haha. Yeah, who wouldn't want me? Just any guy with low standards, I guess. :P Just kidding.

My V-Day wasn't that bad. At least he took some time off his work to communicate with me. I'm glad you are going to have love-filled valentines from now on. Not only on V-Day but every day as well. Reading Mark's poem and yours is thrilling. You gus are crazy about each other!!!!! :)

[Dayran]

Its certainly a Valentine alone ... but not necessarily lonely ... for the company of the long lost appears to be always with you. Happy Valentine Arzel.

[Blue]

You have a point, Dayran. Thank you for your kind words.

[Cassie]

Nice nice...I love that you came up with a completely different perspective, my point loving some one for only one day and showing love just that day doesnt measure much than showing that love for an entire year.

[Blue]

True, Cassie. Thank you for dropping by!

[DIVYA]

I've had some great times on Valentines day. It's second only to Halloween for crazy sexy time.

[Blue]

Haha. I'm pleased to know you're having a good time on this love-filled day, BR. Thank you for dropping by.

Valentine's Day is a Hallmark Holiday, for sure, and it is crammed down our throats as soon as the Christmas decorations come down. A good anti-Valentine here!

[Blue]

Thank you, Rita. I agree with you.
