Array ( [sid] => 11903 [catid] => 1 [aid] => Mick [title] => Antique Valentine [time] => 2003-02-03 23:20:00 [hometext] => [bodytext] => They sit on a wooden paper bench,
Framed in a brocade
Of paper flowers,
Her hands fold on her lap,
The hem of her white paper dress
And a glimpse of petticoat beneath
Drift flirtingly in the breeze,
Her eyes turn demurely away,
As he holds out to her,
In his proper paper suit
And high collar,
Doffed hat pressed against his breast,
A single paper rose.
Would You, Be Mine?
The words float above them,
Like a cloud, while Cupid,
In a corner with a bent paper wing,
Smiles over them.
Beneath them, in another corner,
In smudged, faded pencil,
The words written,
Love, Marvin.
A century later
Marvin still loves her.
Flowers and love last forever
On old valentines.
Would you, be mine? [comments] => 2 [counter] => 188 [topic] => 2 [informant] => minnesotarose [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => LovePoetry )

Of paper flowers,
Her hands fold on her lap,
The hem of her white paper dress
And a glimpse of petticoat beneath
Drift flirtingly in the breeze,

As he holds out to her,
In his proper paper suit
And high collar,
Doffed hat pressed against his breast,
A single paper rose.

Nice

While every care is taken to ensure the general sites content is family safe, our moderators cannot be in all places; all the time. Please report poetry and or comments that are in breach of our site rules HERE (Please include poem title or url). Parents also please ensure that you supervise your children well when they are on the internet; regardless of what a site says about being, or being considered, child-safe.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
