Notes About The Poem

Happy Valentine's Day

Twas the day of Valentines 
and all through the house
cut out red hearts hung on twine
and the sweet unmistakable aroma of baking.

All the family hugged, even the dog and the cat.

The children huddled around the dining room table
waiting for heart shaped frosted sugar cookies
as mamma told them to scat.

Now Constance, now Victor, now Lasaad, now Anne-Lise
Now dash away! Dash away! Dash away all!"

The heart shaped frosted sugar cookies are for dessert.

Happy Valentine to all of Soup Poets.
