Gary Bateman Poet Couplet

Notes About The Poem

Author’s Notes:  "Valentine's Unicorn" is a special rhymed couplet that I've written which touches on the fantasy legend of the mystical Unicorn and the ethereal ideal she presents to all of us who cherish harmony, peace, and love always.  I thought that this would be a great theme to present as part of the shared loved that most of us feel or at least strive for on Valentine's Day.  And, I'm dedicating this special poem to my wife Ingrid who just happens to love Unicorns as I do.  (Gary Bateman - February 9, 2015) (Rhymed Couplet)

Valentine's Unicorn

Valentine’s Unicorn

A magical and most wonderful creature of times old,
With a holy soul filled with love and a heart of gold. 

Harmony, peace, and love pervade her very essence,
And they define all that is good and grand in her presence.

She loves poets, musicians, and all of us who so often dream,
And visits us all in ethereal visions on a radiant light beam. 

This Valentine’s Unicorn is a precious bearer of purest love,
Who possesses angelic power from the very Heavens above.

She lives in our hearts and souls as an enchanted dream,
And shares her love and trust with us all as we dream.

She shares our dreams past, present, and future—
And shall always be a spirit of majestic love in our future.
                                                                                                                      
On Valentine’s Day her love is felt on Earth and in Heaven above,
As she sends us harmony, peace, and love on the wings of a dove!

James Horn April 17, 2015 at 5:22 AM More poems. Why aren't you writing more poems. Miss you and your's. Jim Horn Gary Bateman April 17, 2015 at 7:48 AM Jim, I tried to send you a soup mail. Don't know if it went through or not. I've been away to finish the publication of my new book called: "Conversations with My Muse" which is now available for order at Amazon.com. I expect to be back with "PS" by next month. Many new poems to post. I hope all is well. Best to you and your family. Gary

M. L. Kiser February 25, 2015 at 4:52 PM I have no doubt that Ingrid is pleased; this is beautiful Gary. Gary Bateman February 25, 2015 at 5:44 PM ML, The "Unicorn" was actually her idea. I managed to put the words to it. I too liked how this one turned out. Ingrid and I will be doing more co-writes in the future. I have some we've done but not yet posted because of my book edit, etc. Best Wishes Always, Gary

Choene Alley Semenya February 12, 2015 at 1:19 PM A phenomenally said poem Gary. Wow, you really seem to like rhyme just like me and you can really construct it. That's a good one! Gary Bateman February 19, 2015 at 3:35 PM Hello Choene!! Thanks for your read here and your note. I'm pretty much a multi-thematic writer and try to write all types of poetry. (I have much yet to learn!!) Be that as it may, like you, I tend to prefer rhymed writes and rhymed and metered writes. The flow of words with rhyme and meter and metaphor is truly magical!! This really makes poetry glorious!! Best Always, Gary

Liam Mcdaid February 10, 2015 at 4:56 PM a truly magical pen gary regal flowing gold in this piece bowled the mind over smiling Gary Bateman February 10, 2015 at 5:38 PM Liam Mate!! Thanks so much for your visit and read. I'm glad you liked it. (We should consider a co-write in the future where a Leprechaun meets or comes face-to-face with a Unicorn. This might be a interesting theme full of possibilities.) Cheers, Gary

And for the Super Seven Rating!! The "Unicorn" theme is always quite magical and very interesting to write about. I decided yesterday to do one more Valentine's poem for Ingrid before dropping off-line with "PS" for the new few weeks. Glad I did. I was very pleased with how this Couplet turned out. (I had considered doing a Sonnet, but think I made the better choice with the Couplet format.) Continued best wishes from Ingrid and me to you "D"!! Gary XO!!
