A Valentine

From: Me
To: False Hope

You
preclude
happy hymns
and joy elude. 
My poor paper heart,
so shoddily glued
with speculative promise
and notions quite misconstrued.
It is such a small, sad Valentine;
but another discarded billet doux.

Spring

 Spring

thaw, bloom

raining, running, changing

melted, slushy, chilly, muddy

creeping, transforming, unfolding 

burgeoned, fresh, fair

Vernal
