127. Give Me Not A Rose On Valentine's Day Comments

This is so lovely. Simplistic and true!

DESPITE the fact that this IS a love poem, of sorts, i have sent it to MyPoemList. i would read another one tonight but i am commanded to bed. good night. :) bri

well, john, i just glanced at some of the comments below, and, though i don't get attracted to love poems, i shall read this one anyway. i was attracted to the title. :) well, the poem is sweet. i wonder if i could/would write such a sweet poem; i lean towards humor/humour. 3/5 of those who have commented are women, not counting me. i guess i even the score! the gift I want you to give me is one you can never go out and buy one that won’t melt tarnish or die....................that is a heavy gift to wish for. i like these lines, especially, for both the meaning and for the rhyming. unfortunately, as you allude to in the last stanza, love CAN die, or at least get tarnished! i hope you, or whoever you write for, gets his/her wish. wouldn't it be nice if we all did! ? thanks for sharing. bri :)

Beautiful and from the heart. A lovely poem, John.

dear john, The glory of love is incomparable. Thanks for your comments on my poem.

Great sensitive love poem, fantastic rendition of what you want in life from love. A true blessing, John. RoseAnn

So heartfelt and beautiful! Love this one!

This is such a wonderful poem!
