Today is Valentines Day. You have looked at some very modern and not-so-modern poetry from American poets (and others) and perhaps have already tried your hand at writing L-O-V-E poems. Your assignment is to create an original Valentines-type poem and post it here before Friday, 2/18. Some rules:
Don't do anything that isn't school appropriate.
Don't post your full name -- just your first name and last initial.
Be thoughtful -- no fat cat sat on the mat rhymes.
Have fun!

Cory,
Your smile warms my heart,
It lights up your face in the blink of an eye.
You are trustworthy, caring and smart,
When I am around you, I feel shy.
I have never met a person as sweet as you,
Who cares about others and puts himself last.
So tell me, for my feelings are true,
Will you be my Valentine, as you were in the past?
xoxo

when you like a girl,
you get that special feeling,
you want to be with her, no matter what.
she is the only one that matters at the time, you dont want to leave her, you just want to stay by her side.
She's that special one who makes you smile, your always thinking about her, about her beautiful smile.
You have your ups and downs, but you know for sure, that she's the one you want, to spend your time with.

Dearest Cory,
My love for you is strong and deep,
I only wish to see your face,
The vision of you, my heart will keep.
Your laugh makes my emotions race,
On a dreary day, the sight of you makes me leap.
I envision the day I will be dressed in white lace,
When you're by my side, with joy I will weep.

You light up my heart like the sun shining down on a warm summer day.
When I see you walking down the hall, I hold my breath in anticipation that you might look my direction.
Just talking to you makes me want to be the perfect person you deserve.

i don't believe you can describe love with words.
i've never felt it -
you know, that real stuff;
but it's so i hear.
i don't believe you can hear love
through talking.
i've never felt it -
you know, it;
but it's so i hear.
but i believe you can see love
in others eyes.
i've never felt it -
you know, that thing;
but that i can see.

I mustn't love you
I cant let my feelings be free,
I know we could never be together our love could never be.
I feel like exploding
for the emotions I feel
keep locked inside of me,
its just a dream these feelings aren't for real.
I'll convince myself one day
maybe they'll go away,
for my love I keep forbidden
and thats how it's got to be.

As you walk by me in the hall,
i light up with anticipation,
hoping that you will just say hi.
I think about all of the wonderful times we have had together,
i think about you all the time.
You are the one for me
it is true for everyone to see.
I want to hear your wonderful laugh, right next to mine.
so on this special day,
i have one question to ask you.
Will you be my VALENTINE!!!

Oh it is yet another Valentiens day
Thank goodness its once a year
One day of Twitterpation
How hard it is to bear
The smell of all the flowers
Can make one oh so sick
And all those candies
Of course you grow another three inches thick
Oh it is yet another Valentines day
Thank goodness its once a year
For if it were more
I think I'd cry a tear

Amy,
You are innocent in your ways
And you are beautiful throughout the days.
I love it when you cry,
I love it when you talk,
Ill love you till I die,
Ill love you till I cant walk.
In my mind you are kind.
Will you be my Valentind?
Cory S.
You know my heart
Leaps every time your near.
You know how I think of you,
How I wish that you were here.
I don't know if you feel the same.
I don't know if you think about me,
Or care about me,
Or want me near.
Your so confusing.
Youn entered my brain and my heart
And now you refuse to leave.
So now you can go away, no wait, stay.
Amanda B.
Rachael,
We are the best of friends.
Today is your day to shine.
I hope that this day never ends.
Great are the valentines,
Who laugh and joke and play,
And act like this every day.
You are an awesome girl,
Let’s play “THE PLAY FASTEST GAME IN THE WORLD”!

A peddle falls from me to you
A flower blooms because of love
Alone and happy, just us two
A message carried by a dove
The sun rises in time to shine
Will you be my Valentine?
Joe H.
P.S. I am single
As the day turns into night followed by your love that I only wish I could have, constantly thinking of thee to be with regrets only one to see your face again to have that touch believing in love that could come within no matter what was being done feeling let down by the one that I love to hurt from a brokin heart that I only wanter to give to you but from the memory of that smile I fall back in love all over again

It is a day about love
This day does not concern me
The one I feel for is not here
Sitting next to me
I am alone this Valentines Day
How ever I am not sad
I do not feel empty
I don’t ever really feel bad
Some say I’m just insensitive
But I know that isn’t true
I just wish you were here with me
And I was here with you
Erik K.
In anticipation I wait,
Wait for you to come near.
I wait all day,
For your voice I must hear.
I see you around,
And I think what I may.
I think that you will be mine,
Maybe someday.
With the day soon approaching,
I wonder what you’ll say.
Will you be mine,
On this Valentine’s Day?
Deena T.
I do not think that you notice me,
But I hope that you can see.
My feelings for you are true,
And yet you don't even have a clue.
When I am around you there is a nevousness i can't stand,
Just to reach out to you to hold your hand.
When the day comes I hope that you will know,
That me felings are true and they always will be so.
The day i lean to you and tell you what I am going to say,
I Love you HAPPY VALENTINES DAY.

BEAUTIFUL EYES, BEAUTIFUL FACE
Each day I think of you
My mind ponders that white lace.
Yet it is loneliness that fills my heart and face.
Never wanting this from the start.
I wish I had the courage to talk to ou.
Even when it is not the right thime and you are feeling blue.
While this feeling sits blank inside of me
I hope, I wish I need you to be,
MY VALETINE...
What is this feeling that has come over me?
I am confused and shy,
I am filled with happiness.
Are you the reason why,
My mind is in this beautiful mess?
What is this feeling that has come over me–Could it be love?

What I have to offer is yet to be known.
So to this holiday I harden like stone.
Within my mind a cynic survives.
Within my hear romanticism dies.
Should optimism be lost in those who keep hope?
Should the skeptic let go and learn finally to cope?
These questions I ponder every day of the year.
But during this time of love my mind will not clear.

Cheating and lies,
I shouldn't forget,
they're burned in my heart
but love makes me forget,
my eyes still well,
and the days still fade,
the darknesses haunt,
my hearts faith,
I'm wishing for things,
I can't control,
but my love is wrapped up,
in the heart you broke,
so please catch the pieces,
before they all fall,
I need them together
once and for all.
Davin,
At times I look at the stars thinking of you,
Wondering where you are,
Hoping and wishing our love is true,
Thinking how we got so far,
Now I know you are mine,
Will you be my Valentine???
Ofa Atu(luv you)! Jill
From the moment we met...I knew,
Something special was happening between me and you.
All so beautiful, sweet and true,
I couldn't stop myself from falling for you.
I woke up today,
With your name on my lips.
Continued on my way,
You were in all my steps.
It is hard to realize, how could this be,
I have found the one true love for me!
Rick A.
