In Season
An Occasional Poem for Valentine's Day, 2008
Signs of love are everywhere,
symbols that beckon, more
than what they are—
shiny foil on chocolate hearts
like treasure long sought,
the glitter that attracts,
the sweetness that rewards.
Red and pink entwined, such
a fashion no-no,
become a yes of hearts,
lips, kisses, candy favors
that shorthand I LUV U.
And so you say you do,
if at no other time than this—
the season of valentines.
