Very well written and witty. Bravo! For a split second I thought this was a Valentines poem. I dont know much about politics but I love the poem and the picture you chose

Very clever entry. Interesting choice to put it in letter format instead of stanzas. It was a little harder to pick up and keep the rhythm of the rhyme but only because I'm a lazy reader. This should do well in contest...good job.
Cheers,
John

I love this. Putin is so creepy, just like a narcissistic lover. You've written this very skillfully, and I really enjoyed it. My only thing is that I lost the meter at "soon to me, you, I'll tether." Otherwise, this is excellent. Very well done!

What a sinister Valentine. In such a relationship as Vlad is suggesting, I fear the Ukraine would become the abused wife, deprived of individuality, and dominated and controlled by an aggressive husband. Not good. Great poem though. :-)

Excellent entry for the From Russia with Love contest. You fulfilled the contest rules. Clear message, easy to read. Very interesting.

The Russian and ukraine border crisis is very serious but you managed to make it funny.

Well done. Good luck in the contest.

I am not sure what to say because he's being a little skeptical right now. I don't really think I would send a valentine to him or his wife, so I don't have much to say.

    Me either. It was just a fun satire to write about a ruthless dictator. Thanks for reading. :)

It's never enough for people to live in peace that we dredge up old wounds to make threats of violence. What a wonderfully written poem.

Good luck in the contest!
Have a great day, and God bless.

The entire concept of this contest strikes me as funny. I suppose that is the purpose. Anyway, you certainly meet those expectations. I like how you combine prose and poetry, coyly throwing in rhymes with your tongue in cheek prose.
Well done, my friend.

    Thank you for this great review. I thought it was an odd concept as well, but also intriguing.

Very cleverly written poem - it's got winner written all over it for the contest, I feel.
Vlad Putin is a very coercive lover, manipulative and deceitful, with a penchant for threatening violence. Not a good bedfellow at all - far too self-centred.
