Love Poem: Valentine's

Written by: Joe Dimino

Valentine's

Sometimes straightforward
is the best...and too artificial
all the rest:

If you say azure sky one more time
I’ll beat your poem with erasers
and white-out:

The sky is blue
whether old or new--
to differ
not by structure 
nor word;  and 
no matter how 
often heard,
still blue
called by any-another
only absurd--

the sky is blue
the sea is blue
the heart
can be blue

By the way…
it’s Valentine’s

and regardless
how often said
and echoed,

for my mind’s sake
(not excluding
my heart, erasers and white-out)
(straightforward)
please start with

I Love You….
