Jackie Adams Poet Free verse

Valentines Day

Broken souls,
Hopeless people,
walk the streets of my city.
Decorations lay on the ground,
decorating the streets instead of the signs.
They are scorched and black.
There is no celebrating to be done here,
For this is the lonely city of my heart.
And Valentines day is not welcome.

Audrey Haick February 14, 2010 at 4:21 PM Hey Jackie, A good poem, but I'm sorry to hear this. Maybe next Valentine's Day, bring some little construction paper and markers for little ones in your local hospital, would also warm up the "city", you know! Imagine their smiles!!! Peace, love, Audrey

Kim Hilliker February 14, 2010 at 3:33 PM Oh, that's so sad. Lot's of people hate V-Day because of that. Holidays are filled with propaganda to sell products. It's all so commercial. Don't let it get to you.
