Hi there,

It is true that different forms of writing do NOT come naturally to everyone. I'm sure you do have a nitch where you can write just about anything and feel comfortable.

Thank you for sharing your story within the lines of a Valentine poem.

This tickled me, because I'm the same way. Since I have a celibate lifestyle for decades, I'm not one to celebrate valentine's day. Romantic love pales in comparison to unconditional divine love, which is the ideal I admire.

Enjoyed the wit here:

It sounded trite and not quite right.
It dingled-not, my bell.


Love the slant rhymes here:

Romantic poems are not my thing,
I find them really tough.
Sincerity does not pour forth,
just mushy, slushy stuff.

Chuckling (and nodding),

You have written a delightful poem about not being able to write a Valentine poem.
Who needs another "mushy, slushy" one. " It dingled-not my bell" with its mocking
tone is very clever. Keep writing Valentine poems!

I am totally with you on that! I think you've created a humorous look at a lot of romantic poems. Very cleverly done. Wish you good luck in your contest. Thanks for sharing.

I am with you Debra, I too cannot or don't enjoy writing romance poems. I had a wonderful marriage, but those days are long passed. I guess romance for me has lost its passion.
