I claim there ain’t /Another Saint /As great as Valentine.” –Ogden Nash poem

“If my Valentine you won’t be,
I’ll hang myself on your Christmas tree.”
–Ernest Hemingway

Poet, make haste

Your holiday nears

No time to waste

Love is all ears

“Greatly begin. Though thou have time, but for a line, be that sublime. Not failure, but low aim is crime.”
–James Russell Lowell

Sharpen your quill

Ready smelling salts

Scribble a thrill

So what if it’s schmaltz

“At the touch of love everyone becomes a poet.” –Plato

Love is true

Writ in the heart

It’s type is you

It’s face is art

If you need more inspiration to earn your poet’s holiday, today and every day, here is a Valentine movie that mates Pierre Leduc’s Loving Type series with Billboard’s ‘No. 1 Love Song of All Time.’
