Valentine In Pensive Mood Poem by C. P. Sharma

Valentine In Pensive Mood

Rating: 5.0


My Valentine is motley fool,
His cap studded with wisdom jewel;
He is seen in dual mood,
It swings between the kind & cruel.

The wise love his cruelty
And in his kindness rejoice,
In both of these they hear
His message in a clear voice.

Today, He has nothing to offer,
Empty are the union coffers.
Borrow a little less from banks,
With plastic cards do not prank.

With the poor share your weal,
Third world with sympathy deal;
Let the poor have two meals,
Slow the self-amassing wheel.

Let some roses to unprivileged go,
Their unhappiness mop & mow,
There find world’s pleasure-trove,
Repression & disparity give a blow.

My Valentine is in pensive mood,
Spare some time and on it brood.

I thank you for the wisdom. How many chase the carrot on the stick and stumble over like the Motley Fool in the end.

This is a sobering write for a Valentine's Day. I happen to love this day, so I am a little down after reading this. But this only serves to remind me of those who are constantly down on all days of the year. It is well that I read this. GW62

An eloquent, sobering rememberabnce of a day, most usually encaptured with much spirited romp...I find this piece to be quite apropos to what our world is currently experiencing, while we do our damndest to blink hard & hope that it's all just a surreal daydream...Fine Work, indeed, C.P.

Giving a little thought to our lives and that of others is certainly a good idea. So much wasted by some and needed by others. Irene
