For today’s prompt, write a valentine poem. Because, well, look at the date. If you don’t have flowers, a card, chocolates, don’t fret: Write a valentine poem. If you don’t have a valentine, write a poem to the person (even if imaginary) that you wish was your valentine. If you’re too cool for school and valentines, then write a poem about that.

Here’s my attempt at a Valentine Poem:
“Dear Valentine”
In the end, what can I say
that would surprise you
or take your breath away?
What could I possibly do
to make you love me more?
Because it really is true
you’re the only one I adore
and you own every song
that sings of mi amore.
To you, my heart belongs
every night and every day
for you can do no wrong.
