Happy Valentine's Day!

I must admit, three valentine posts may be a "bit much," but I liked all these poems and couldn't decide on just one! :-)
Conversation Hearts

In February, bring them home,
pink, yellow, lavender
and lime pastels
BE MINE I'M YOURS
to be read by the tongue
that licks the chalk
and tastes what it spells.

I'll give you a boxful,
tasting of daphne, lupine,
mint and columbine;
a mouthful of secrets,
lovelier than whispers,
dear ones, friends
I'M YOURS BE MINE

by Nina Payne


Maybe these flowers don't quite match the poem, but don't they get you ready for those early, early Spring bouquets?
(This bouquet was created in May 2008) :-)
Happy Valentine's Day!

Valentines

Valentines

I gave a hundred Valentines.
a hundred, did I say?
I gave a thousand Valentines
one cold and wintry day.

I didn't put my name on them
or any other words,
because my Valentines were seeds
for February birds.

by Aileen Fisher

Looking forward to a Happy Valentine's Day?
:-)
