Dale Gregory Cozart Poet Acrostic

Romantic

Romance is grand, that is the tack.
Of course it's all commercial ruse;
Merchants to turn books red to black
And cause us wallets to abuse.
Not one device of foe nor friend
Tallies the losses less than gain
In funds when love comes to an end:
Cash down the unsuspecting drain.

Connie Marcum Wong February 22, 2018 at 6:45 PM My romantic heart still loves Valentine's Day because it is not only a day you can share with your loved one but also a day you can share with so many. It is true what you say in your poem and I can relate, but bring on the chocolates! ; ) Dale Gregory Cozart February 22, 2018 at 6:52 PM Thanks, Connie. And from what I hear they go on sale the day after!
