wilted flowers and candy that's well past its sell by date are the tokens of your love... the trash can is mine! * based on a friend's failed romance written 15th January 2017 for Constance's Valentine (form D) contest

Oh, I can appreciate the irony in this one, Jack. Maybe you can put the sad memories behind and open your heart to love again. That is my Valentine wish for you! Hugs, Carolyn

Very honest and revealing poem, Jack. Your actions speaks as loud as your words in this poem. Cool dodoitsu poem. I love your style of writing. Love and joy always.
