What a shame our days are dullness
In which we lose the sense of time
So we need big glaring banners
To make us see, to remind
Of something that we should have paid
Much more attention just anytime
Instead of using one day to satiate
The love-telling demand

All that red to catch your eyes
Check your agenda and what a surprise!
You see the big screamer sign
There's no doubt to claim
The day of St. Valentine
Is here again
With all its
Heart-shaped boxes full of
Heart-shaped sweets in
Heart-shaped wrappings

Run out for a bunch of flowers
It's time to get smart, so better start
To be the one who cares
"Baby, I bought you a heart-shaped heart!"

Love is a burn
An internal file
To see they turn
It into a pile
Of paper hearts coloured red
Makes me feel just sad

What you saw upon the site
Is hung in kitchen day and night,
Not to remind us of our feeling,
But to cover a hole in ceiling.

My favorite line "baby i bought you a heart-shaped heart"
i agree on the fact valentines is a very overplayed hoiday, but hey, if the love is there and the thought it there thats all the matters

I heartily agree...Every day is Valentines day......try my poem "Wolf , with hindsight" (no.2 on my list) I've tried to find another way of saying it

Liked the poem very much, I hate the way so many "occaisions" have become commercialised.
