Valentine

On the night we first met, stars were shining bright Somehow, I knew we'd become more than friends I offered you a yellow rose in the glow of moonlight while I was thinking, "I hope this feeling never ends." Six months later we tallked about hopes and dreams I gave you six pink roses as we gazed at stars above We shared tender kisses beneath pale moonbeams and for the first time, we spoke sweet words of love. At eight months we were planning a future together Inside a bouquet of twelve red roses, I had tied a ring We married in the summer on a hillside of heather and today you told me there'd be a baby in Spring. Our child is your Valentine's gift for me, so I have two dozen white roses and delicate baby's breath in a vase. Beribboned for my Valentine in a shade of baby blue. May we always be content, wrapped in love's embrace. January 18, 2023 Valentine Poetry Contest Sponsor: Mystic Rose Rose

You gave me more than roses, you gave me poetry of love. You stood out from the rest, guess you must be the best. Thank you, from my heart :)

Thank you very much, Tom. I'm licking my wounds over another contest at the moment, but that's how it goes. I'm considering following Jenna's example and just pooh them all.
