I received the following from a shy fella who was reluctant to post in the contest. I was able to convince him that his talent should be enjoyed by all so he agreed to allow me to share with you. This sweet sonnet was written by Rob:
CalamityJan
CalamityJan, for she is the apple of my eye,
Though the distance between her and I causes great gasps & sighs.
She is creative, artistic and simply beautiful,
Her thoughts and wisdoms bring forth, a push &/or pull.
But it's a tragedy, to hear her consumed with Valentine's Day blues,
For her thoughts and feelings, I truly wish to renew.
For a smile on such a face,
Would surely make this guy's heart race.
With sweet nothings I may mutter,
I truly wish to see thou heart flutter.
To speak with and meet this lady a dream come true,
To sew and seam, a heart so blue,
This poem I write, just for you.
So I wish you a happy Valentines Day,
For an amazing woman, I know this I can say...
So once again, happy Valenties Day.
