Notes About The Poem

Written January 30 2026 for My Funny Valentine contest sponsored by Andrea Dietrich

My Funny Valentine

My Valentine a giant with huge feet
He loves to cuddle up close to me
Yet I don’t adore
Sound of his snore
Like a motorcycle slowly dying

Hello Karen, Have you had this sleep apnea for long? The snoring did not bother me. It was when he stopped snoring that woke me up. Thank you my friend Karen. Hugs. /Darlene/

Dear Karen, What a lovely mix of affection and exasperation that only real love can hold. You catch the humor without losing the tenderness, which is its own kind of Valentine’s truth. Winter Blessings, Karen, Daniel
