Keep Trying
Valentines is a day when man dines on dismay wondering what to buy. Some more bling? Though they try every year to surprise someone dear to their eyes they will fail to excel. ·······  ·······When power leads man toward arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the areas of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of his existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

Dear Larry,
Glad to see this one in crit as well as elsewhere, because I loved all the word play, and the rather sad ending. My problem exactly, possible solved by buying desired car, and claiming it to be a succession of Valentines, Mothers Day and birthday presents ! Love Alan ······· ······· |

Larry,
In a few lines, you have captured the frustrations that most men face on the eve of Valentine's day. It just proves how difficult it is to understand what a woman really wants. JLY ······· ·······Give thanks for your new friends of today, but never forget the warm hugs of your yesterdays.

Hi Larry, Good laugh with this one...sorry we women are so difficult to please! Keep trying, indeed. Good title...LOL... Never heard of a sonnet bref. Can you give us a brief idea on how it works? Looks easy, but I bet I'd make a holy mess of it. I hope you had a happy Valentine's Day. Cheers, Syl*** ······· ·······Mis temas favoritos
