Emile Pinet Poet Villanelle

Valentine's Day

Valentine's day instills romance
amenable to the heart's call
enticing love to take a chance.

February finds time to dance
as winter temperatures fall
Valentine's day instills romance.

Happy hearts slip into a trance
that encompasses one and all
enticing love to take a chance.

Dances get prepared in advance
for when winter slows to a crawl
Valentine's day instills romance.

Sharing a reassuring glance,
she wears innocence like a shawl
enticing love to take a chance.

When hearts link up by circumstance,
they don't defer to protocol.
Valentine's day instills romance,
enticing love to take a chance.
