Valentine In Pensive Mood Comments

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

certainly makes me stop and think.. thought provoking

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

Your untainted wisdom takes us to new horizons of life; divinity and nature.

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.

Great composition Sir. Nice rhymes...well written poem...valentine in a pensive mood..great! ...10

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

Never give your love the plastic, that's to drastic... great poem 10

Hello CP and I must say it's an interesting read! Loyd

My salute for this wise and compassionate write, C.P. You deserve a huge bouquet of favorable comments and votes of ten for your Valentine mood. Always your friend at poemhunter, Sandra

Well, this is an unusual take on what for some, romantics and lovers, mostly, is a festive and joyous holiday, C. P. However, the considerations you raise in this interesting poem are certainly good ideas and suggestions, not only for the Valentine's Day observance, but for every day of the year. The United Nations, which has done much, but never enough for the poor and starving of the world, should re-double their efforts in all of the aid to the poor people around the world and stop embroiling themselves in petty politics. Your poem is well written and very expressive. Perhaps if someone should read it to that august assemblege, they may get the hint that there is far more they can do for the world than what they have done so far. Thank you for this great poem. Carl.

I rather enjoyed this very insightfull write, it certainly maid me stop and think... Twice... Very good... Bonnie

You put your finger just on the pain area. Humanity will suffer more from the free hands of greed and globalization where it isn't rules of morale but the rules of market and monopoly.
