An Ode To Valentines Day Poem by kathryn madonna

here is wish you all a happy valentines
this is a story about how it started
not the way we would have expected
but it has to do with birds
and happened in a land australia does not call its own
it is romantic, gorgeous and true
so alas for me my gifts and flowers naught
my sad heart torn apart

i see a bird then remember all i have been taught
and that is not to taunt
when another is in strife
but instead remember the colour of the sky
the birds, the clouds, the cool summer rain
and never taunt
anothers pain

because remember without the rain
all birds and flowes
would be seen as in vain
remember this as you witness humankind

try not to be shallow
all were born with a halo
they may have been not all quite oval
but a halo is a halo
just the same
