Jan Allison Poet Diminished Hexaverse

Notes About The Poem

Valentine's Day Sucks

Inflated prices
For twenty four hours 
I don’t need a card
Or blood red roses
On Valentine's Day



Save your money
Say you love me
It costs nothing
But means the world



I cannot
Put a price
On your love

 
I love
You for



Free

Afzal Nusker January 20, 2017 at 10:40 PM Quite true, it's a waste of money and lot of unnecessary pressure. You couldn't have expressed it with much honesty. Congrats, Jan. Jan Allison February 1, 2017 at 4:00 PM We have been together 27 years and never celebrated with commercial gifts:-) hugs Jan xx

Jean Murray January 11, 2017 at 12:15 PM I used get half dead carnations with the weekly shop....the 99p sale sticker on full view. To this day I loath them. In the end, I had to say "Please don't bring me those anymore." Jan Allison January 11, 2017 at 3:44 PM I guess the thought was there jean lol - I love carnations but buy my own flowers as i can get the colour combinations I love - will get some on son's behalf for my birthday - pointless him spending a fortune sending me them by post :-) hugs Jan xx

John Lawless January 10, 2017 at 10:09 PM ...no feelings were hurt in the making of this poem....With a title like that how can this miss....laughing as I type Jan Allison January 11, 2017 at 11:34 AM I couldn't resist a cynical take on the theme in 25 years we have never celebrated:-) hugs Jan xx

Frederic Parker January 10, 2017 at 7:27 PM Trust me most guys don't get it either, its almost like a day made up to sell flowers... Jan Allison January 11, 2017 at 11:35 AM I hate the commercialisation and the rip off prices Frederic :-) hugs Jan xx

White Wolf January 10, 2017 at 5:31 PM Haha, I've neither received one nor sent one in my whole life! Waste of good trees if you ask me! Good luck in the contest, Jan /|\ Jan Allison January 10, 2017 at 5:47 PM I received one anonymously when I was about 18 - found out if was from a friend of a friend who had come to a party I had - but nothing ever came of it lol:-) hugs Jan xx

Chris Green January 10, 2017 at 4:40 PM Is that "free" a limited time offer, while supplies last? Just kidding, you gotta love a romantic poem titled Valentine's Day Sucks. It doesn't get more romantic than that. :) Honestly Jan, your poem is exactly right. Love is everyday, not just one highlighted day a year on the calendar. Jan Allison January 10, 2017 at 4:52 PM In 25 years of marriage we have never celebrated Valentines Day with over inlated priced gifts - my cynical poem is about as romantic as it gets lol:-) hugs Jan xx
