Vary Valentine~

This day of the year can hardly be more heart fluttering or heart breaking. Thankfully I am none and in between these two extremes.

I would like to take this editorial to thank my beloved friends from A302 for all the ingenuous(and ingenious) letters, which very much fizzled the day for me. By courtesy of Lizzy, I shall reproduce part of her risible poem. (It has no title)

Roses are red
Violets are blue
But mushrooms aren't flowers
And so aren't you!!


What an unconventional twist to an otherwise flaccid poem. By such a mere glimpse of the activity of my classmates, one can hardly not be stupefied by the dynamism and the esprit de corps we share. Thanks A302 for the cherished friendships and partaking in this odyssey with me.

Whilst others are with their sweet hearts, I had a sweet time spent with God, Stephanie and Geraldine. Had half and an hour of animated discussion and prayer. Really excellent time.

Ah, before I sign off, I have this spunky poem for you. No guessing this time, just think about it! Do give feedback! I submitted this poem to the Library Love Poem contest. Haha, only 3 submissions thus far, fancy guesswork will tell you that I may stand a high chance of attaining the voucher!

Ok- Enjoy it, laugh over it and God Bless :)

How LOVE came about

Love drifts in the air
and brushes through my hair.

I chance upon her.
A most exquisite pearl.

Her features so smooth
and exceedingly fair.

Anticipation builds,
tingling. Excitement brews.

My mind overflowing-
Too overpowering

I fall head over heels.
Yes! That is what I feel.

‘‘Take the leap of faith!
Or join the nameless grave.’’

Both our eyes meet-
my heart missed a beat.

Vowels I manage,
Man, do I sound savage!

She gave a smile. A
reassuring, sweet smile.

Good night, out of sight-
Our journey takes flight.

For love’s a strange one.
Even I can’t crack it.

P.S. It isn't what I feel about love though. It rarely begins with a 'Love at first sight' syndrome. Sorry to drown your utopia. Love is more complicated than this :p (refer to earlier post)
