Poetry Contest Description
What is worse than being single or brokenhearted on Valentine's Day?
Tomorrow is Valentine's Day and I was thinking... what is worse than being single or broken hearted on Valentine's Day?
And my thoughts just went to extremes...
Orphans of War
Life for them is black and bleak
With crimson grounds beneath their feet
When horrors aren't nighmares
Grief is before and beyond them
Words of hope means nothing
and won't reach their ears
It's too late for salvation
Too soon for redemption
Despair is the hallow above their heads
Fury is the dept slowly seeping within
Them, that welcomes death over sunlight
Would soon be swept, binded together
In history as a collective noun
Forgotten, insignificant as a singular
Accessories to highlight the heroes and tyrants
And who would remember each individual?
No one but, the Civil Registry
But even that could be caught on fire...
It makes me feel lucky...
Rules
1. Title your poem
2. New or Old write acceptable
3. One entry per poet
4. Make me feel lucky even without a significant other this Valentines
5. Enjoy and Happy Valentine's Day fellow lover of ink here at Dup.

WICKED CUPID
As the story goes, Lucifer, who was a Cherub
Was cast out of Heaven for not fulfilling his angelic duties
I've often wondered if he wasn't the only Cherub to meet this fate
Because, from my experience, another cherub; Cupid
Can be one evil little weevil
So Cupid here is my message to you
If you’re going to shoot me on Valentine's Day
Would you please shoot the woman I'm in love with too?

Thank you Snugglebuck for your entry...
Hmmm, I agree. Being single or brokenhearted is better than being trapped in a relationship with the wrong person.

I Beat You All
What's worse, on
Valentine's Day, than being
single or broken-hearted?
Turning 50--yes, it's true, and
you're all invited
to my pity party.
Bring your own cake--
I'm eating mine.

"Diana and Cupid" by Pompeo Batoni
Love's Futility
Happy Valentine’s Day!
in cheerful timbre uttered
her reply with delay
Imperceptibly muttered
Godiva dark a tasty tease
once yielded passionate kisses
now merely empty calories
how long forgotten bliss is
Perfume, flowers I’ll still offer
because that’s who I am
carefully worded cards I’ll proffer
showing I still give a damn

Bittersweet
What was once so strong,
Feels so weak,
The arms where I belonged,
Warm and bittersweet.
A heart of gold,
Like stone it sleeps,
Blood so cold,
That tastes bittersweet.
Still we stay,
Feel for what we cannot reach,
See our life in grey,
Pictures in bittersweet.
We talk but talk is cheap,
Try to talk us out of our defeat,
Do we hear the words we speak?
The sound of bittersweet.
The love I so dearly loved,
So perfect and unique,
I gave it all I could,
Broke and bittersweet.
A man I once adored,
Into those eyes I search deep,
I cannot see what I saw before,
Now I see bittersweet.
A bracelet, the charm,
The clasp has been beat,
Snaps around my arm,
Cannot cling to bittersweet.
A life of promise and affection,
Shadows of lies and deceit,
Hopes of restoring our perfection,
But even hope is bittersweet.

What is worse?
Self indulgence like this verse
We are all human fuck my malaise
Our genetics and empathy are predisposed
We are a beautiful convoluted maze
Our environment a story yet to be composed
A broken heart represents a feeling
The muscle in the chest pumps erratic
Fragmented moments I am stealing
Left with nothing but static
Valentine to evoke our empathy?
Love is deeper than that I think
Drum those books of conspiracy
Read between those lines of ink

Wreathing
When we were young, every wreath
Was a holiday decorating our wonder
Years with wish covered doorways
Molded by family and special teachers
Whose knowledge transferred
From a hierarchy of Love through
Blood or kindred bond. Connected
By historical roots, these dark-haired
Guides of yesteryear were book-smiths
Bearing darker eyes and kind smiles.
Their wisdom paired lessons with each
Individual ability to scale the mighty
Mountain of penmanship into a syntax of
Dense meaning until reaching a story book
Of paragraph. As children, we underestimate
The value of the adventure we're assigned.
Ever forward into adulthood and freedom
To choose our own lessons, we leave
Behind legacies of growth for higher
Institutes of learning across continents
And distant countries abroad, packing
Only what we want to take with us;
Needing nothing from the world but the
Clothes on our back and Air in our lungs.
As we learned the dictates of expression
Under the direction of new mentors,
Our lives evolved into a becoming of
Adult forced to honor regretful choices.
Our lives become not our own except
Through dreams locked within ourselves,
Huddled around the tiny flame of barely
Burning inspiration guarded by hope.
When we were young, every wreath
Was magic hanging holidays with peace
And joy, all ye faithful, merry gentlemen,
And we mustn't forget Peter rabbit too.
As we age they take on different nuances
Of loss and condolences. It is then we grasp
For what we've been taught, for meaning
From the chaos of unwanted circumstance.
All our lives we thought we knew everything,
Until we grew up to swallow another's grief,
Understanding nothing of its bloody hands
Smearing across the eyes of those we love
With blinding pain. It's then we realize what
We've lost to this world for good, knowing
All that's left to offer through the empty void
Is all we've learned wreathed into a poem.

Burying your mother is pretty much up there with the worst...
Mine passed away the day before Valentine's Day in 1978. It's difficult even today not to associate it with the holiday.

thank you everyone for participating. Tough choice between Madame and Ahavati. But I would go with Madame Lavender this time. In the end I chose the one that pull the strings in my heart. there is something really wretched in being alone on your birthday. more than aging, its the cake that did it.
