Valentinian Valor

“Valentinian Valor” Oh wouldst that I could write of bleeding love drawn from my heart by arrows from above thus blame my fate upon the sting of Cupid to ease the pain of simply being stupid. Alas, tis said, my courting needs refinement she’s baffled by what that Valentine meant a twist of juxtaposed seductive word play written by a novice in dismay. Cannot the words of love be truly writ without exposing writer’s as such twits that they would wander hopeless in the dark unknowing of the shelves that are “Hallmark”. For when you wish to send your very best ‘Tis best to fall in line with all the rest. ©2/3/2018 submitted to – FEB 2018 STANDARD CONTEST sponsor – Brian Strand
