Is It The Fifteenth Yet?
Calendar Dates
Valentines day summary
season and love as cold as ice
fourteenth day in February
when true love pays a price
sugar coated candies
chocolate hearts and flowery cards
baby lace and panties
more than choices getting hard
a ploy for fairer weather
an escape from winter blues
a warmed up tv dinner
I mean, what’s a girl to do
a song and dance for lovers
a day to celebrate with flair
24 hours for undercover
expressing just how much you care
being single on a couples day
is like sunbathing in December
goosebumps have a subtle way
of helping you remember
mark it on your calendar
be sure to plan ahead
when love is as straining as a colander
remember, the hearts favorite shade is red

Vocal & my relationship to publishing traditionally
Ever since my small writing beginnings, when I started writing on Vocal in February 2021, I had been in a truly terrible slump & funk when it came to my writing. I had so many unfinished projects, ideas, half finished manuscripts and first chapters that were going nowhere.

"More than choices getting hard" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Loved your poem!
Wonderful poem. The feeling was goosebumps when I read this line - "goosebumps have a subtle way of helping you remember." Amazing. Happy Valentines day. :)
Love this!!! Full of humor, pain, and truth
Oh, so well expressed as always, Kelli! I confess, I'm a sucker for Valentine's Day, but not a fan of the commercialism. I went to a lot of trouble to make sure it was the day that Pam's ring was delivered, all those years ago. These days, I usually fire up the grill, she fixes a dessert, and we enjoy a quiet evening at home. Happy Valentines Day, my friend!
Happy Valentine's Day!
Valentine's Day & Ash Wednesday coincide this year. Ashes & hearts, somehow it seems appropriate. If not for being in a committed relationship I might offer you an alternative. Then you would discover that there really are worse things than being single on Valentine's Day, lol. Seriously, whether single or coupled or otherwise, may you know this Valentine's Day & always that you are loved, my friend.
