for
some Valentine’s had
love confessions, surprise gifts,
and candlelit dinners
for
others Valentine’s had
no red roses, heart-shaped
candy boxes or love letters
not
a holiday for a single girl
love confessions, surprise gifts,
and candlelit dinners
no red roses, heart-shaped
candy boxes or love letters
It can be a sad holiday for a single girl.
ReplyDeleteSevenling's one of my favorite forms! Well done!
ReplyDeletePoignant...and sadly true...
ReplyDeleteYeah, it sucks when you're single. This is crisp and to the point.
ReplyDeleteIndeed..so true!
ReplyDeleteTo be lonely on Valentine is hard...
ReplyDeleteThank you everyone.
ReplyDeleteI recently learned that 28.2% of all households in the US are single households. That's close to a third.
ReplyDeleteNo fun for a single anyone! Or those in unhappy relationships...
ReplyDeleteYou are right... we don't often think about that perspective.
ReplyDeleteWell done!
Thank you again everyone.
