POET LAUREATE OF THECOLUMNISTS.COM

EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the very best Valentine's Day poem we received. It is also the ONLY Valentine's Day poem we received. That's why we think it's so worth printing now, even though Valentine's Day is still 51 weeks away.

A COOL VALENTINE

Your charm exudes ethereal felicity For me, your valentine in anonymity. Though persevering to the best ability, Alas, I’ve lost all objectivity In my arcane proclivity Of tumbling into that delightful singularity--- Your planetary gravity. Our meeting proved sheer serendipity As I, most starry-eyed, revealed my borderline insanity Enough to jeopardize my dream of amity, Extending grandly from this time to temporal infinity, Which God might grant me--- wouldn’t he?

Our poet laureate Paul Hertelendy has published four books of his poetry in spare moments of putting out the arts-review e-magazine artssf.com.
