You're Mine Valentine
by David Lee Thompson → (All Poetry by David Lee Thompson)

During my research of Saint Valentine, I was dismayed, or shocked from all the information about him. I was not surprised to find that he was the patron saint of lovers—but beekeepers and others?


Poem Artwork

 

History abounds with

Saint Valentine’sDay,

Its revealments leave me

In utter dismay. 

I've thought about love

And flowers and marriages,

And walks in the park

Pushing babies in carriages,

 

He's protector of lovers

And keepers of bees,

But in dotage I find

I am neither of these. 

 

Now listen up closely,

Oh Valentine, my dear,

For I need to make something

Perfectly clear. 

 

From moment to moment

And time after time,

I’ve always declared—

You're Mine, Valentine!

 Reviews of "You're Mine Valentine"
Reviewed by Ronald Hull

I love the way the poem celebrates and even, berates the celebrated figure that is the masthead for our beloved St. Valentine's Day. It is strange how our culture and commercialism changes some original tradition into what it is today. Unfortunately, cheap poems, purchased at stores by big companies, selling love and friendship to the masses. A poem written to a Valentine is far more cherished, don't you think?

Great rhyming and cadence as well. Lovely.

Ron

And that's the way true love is meant to be.
