! ! ! A Very Indian Valentine Poem

Rating: 3.0


Honey bun,
Cold blooded sweetheart,
The time I spent admiring you
Was a casualty unproductive.
I could better have gone
Harvesting rain water
Or worse, tobacco;
Yet, I burnt out many an hour
Conceiving you
And contemplating happiness:
What an abhorrent waste!
Now to me you are but some
Rainless bankruptcy
Let your glamour go to the geese-
A flower is sweetly deodorant
And softly warming if it rains
Although short-lived
Like you.

'Cold blooded sweetheart! ' I agreed with Sandra. A 10.

'Let your glamor go to the geese' is priceless - the title is perfect and the 'over the top', Bollywood style of this melodrama is most appealing. You're right - a very Indian Valentine Poem. Superb. love, Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
