Notes About The Poem

A Valentine's tribute

Rudolph Valentino

Romantic
               Valentino,
               nicknamed
      Latin Lover.
Red-blooded, silent
                       movie star.
Starstruck
women swooned.
   Legend
collapses. . .
                  his death caused
          mass hysteria.
drop dead gorgeous goodbye.
              red
             rose       smooches grave.
