Valentine Poegles

Filed Under Poegles 

In honor of the upcoming Valentine’s Day holiday, a nice cross post from Poetry Hut– do-it-yourself valentines at poets.org.  Valentines from Frost, Dickinson, Wright, Desnos….

And for your enjoyment, a Valentine’s Poegle:

Handwritten Valentine

Received one winter day

in an Omaha office

embossed and lacey borders

a little damaged

paper, pink ink, silk flower

arrow-pierced heart.

Inside, the sweetheart’s name

an invitation to a simple

reasonably priced dinner

some horse racing tips

a coupon for a bar

of free-trade dark chocolate.

-Editor (search phrase “handwritten valentine”)
