Valentines is a crock

I love my wife and I tell her every day (well I think I do, must be close. But I don’t really believe in Valentine’s day. It was invented by retailers I reckon. If you have to wait for that one day a year you are in trouble I reckon.

With that in mind here is some interesting Valentine’s day Card ideas

What's the Opposite of "Hallmark?"

from Fred Langa

The Washington Post asked its readers to write a Valentine's Day couplet with the most romantic first line and the least romantic second line. Here are some of the entries.

My darling, my lover, my beautiful wife:
Marrying you has screwed up my life.

I see your face when I am dreaming.
That's why I always wake up screaming.

Kind, intelligent, loving and hot;
This describes everything you are not.

Love may be beautiful, love may be bliss,
But I slept with you 'cause I was pissed.

I thought that I could love no other
That is, until I met your brother.

Roses are red, violets are blue, sugar is sweet, and so are you.
But the roses are wilting, the violets are dead, the sugar bowl's empty and so is your head.

I want to feel your sweet embrace;
But don't take that paper bag off your face.

I love your smile, your face, and your eyes
Damn, I'm good at telling lies!

My love, you take my breath away.
What have you stepped in to smell this way?

My feelings for you no words can tell,
Except for maybe 'Go to hell'

Ode to Poetry

Thanks to a request from my sister I am having a lash at writing poetry. Never really done it before – not properly anyway. Last time I did it was probably the angst-ridden High School variety (like Julie suggested)

The poems have to be in specific styles. I really like the Haiku form and found that easy.

I posted on my fav forums to get some advice and got a few tips. The suggestion to flip the lines in the haiku was great – here it is:

SHINE IN THE DARKNESS
SLIDING UP THE MOON EXPLODES
INK BLACK WINTER NIGHT

Making the Iambic Pentameter is a bastard. Anybody can count the syllables but to get lines that make sense, tell a story and flow to a conclusion is difficult. I still don’t feel like it has rhythm but the meter is right. This is draft about #7 and counting

FOR THEY WHO FIND THIS SHORT ODE, PRINT SO SMALL
SHALL KNOW SO STARK THAT FATE LIVED ME THESE YEARS
AND SHARE WITH KIN MY LOVE FULL SEEN STAND TALL
MY LIFE, AND NOT JUST TIME PASSED SMALL END TEARS

I’ve got 2 more to write yet – will put them up here too

Christmas is made up of

Christmas is made up of . . . discovering the charm of a Christmas tree farm.

Christmas Is Made Up Of... Diet cheating & overeating.

Christmas Is Made Up Of . . . Sharing recipes of homemade candies.

Christmas Is Made Up Of... Sentimental renditions of family traditions.

Christmas Is Made Up Of . . . Investigating who ate the whole Christmas plate.

Christmas Is Made Up Of . . . A white elephant gift for a spendthrift.

Christmas Is Made Up Of... Sharing a photo proving how kids grow.
