Valentine's Day Scrooge

Red
romantic
long-stemmed
roses

Heart-shaped
pink ribboned
box
of candy hearts

Cliched
mass-produced
cards
screaming "I Love You"

Well Bah Humbug
and go to hell,
to ghosts of Valentines
passed and present as well

Haha. ripleym, The sentiments I have expressed here have not exactly endeared me to members of the fairer sex in my own life! So I think I'll take a rain cheque on that one all the same. I do like Valentine's day, but not when I'm single and alone. Depressing and nauseating.
