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.
your poem left me in a pensive mood............ wonderful composition.........
I thank you for the wisdom. How many chase the carrot on the stick and stumble over like the Motley Fool in the end.

Good to present Valentine in a pensive mood C.P, - - and I loved the phrase 'slow the self-amassing wheel ' - - therefore the 'unprivileged might get some of those roses' - - very well argued and point taken to heart by this reader...... best wishes from Fay. with a 10
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. F j R 2009
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
a thinking mans poetry always has more to say than first appears Love is not just for lovers but for fellow men also. The more you give away the more you recieve to replenish your supply
