Valentine In Pensive Mood Poem by C. P. Sharma
Valentine In Pensive Mood
My Valentine is motley fool,
His cap studded with wisdom jewel;
He is seen in dual mood,
It swings between the kind & cruel.
The wise love his cruelty
And in his kindness rejoice,
In both of these they hear
His message in a clear voice.
Today, He has nothing to offer,
Empty are the union coffers.
Borrow a little less from banks,
With plastic cards do not prank.
With the poor share your weal,
Third world with sympathy deal;
Let the poor have two meals,
Slow the self-amassing wheel.
Let some roses to unprivileged go,
Their unhappiness mop & mow,
There find world’s pleasure-trove,
Repression & disparity give a blow.
My Valentine is in pensive mood,
Spare some time and on it brood.
Well, this is an unusual take on what for some, romantics and lovers, mostly, is a festive and joyous holiday, C. P. However, the considerations you raise in this interesting poem are certainly good ideas and suggestions, not only for the Valentine's Day observance, but for every day of the year. The United Nations, which has done much, but never enough for the poor and starving of the world, should re-double their efforts in all of the aid to the poor people around the world and stop embroiling themselves in petty politics. Your poem is well written and very expressive. Perhaps if someone should read it to that august assemblege, they may get the hint that there is far more they can do for the world than what they have done so far. Thank you for this great poem. Carl.

This is a sobering write for a Valentine's Day. I happen to love this day, so I am a little down after reading this. But this only serves to remind me of those who are constantly down on all days of the year. It is well that I read this. GW62
An eloquent, sobering rememberabnce of a day, most usually encaptured with much spirited romp...I find this piece to be quite apropos to what our world is currently experiencing, while we do our damndest to blink hard & hope that it's all just a surreal daydream...Fine Work, indeed, C.P. F j R 2009
Giving a little thought to our lives and that of others is certainly a good idea. So much wasted by some and needed by others. Irene
a thinking mans poetry always has more to say than first appears Love is not just for lovers but for fellow men also. The more you give away the more you recieve to replenish your supply
