Poetry Reading Challenge – Week 6

Week 6 of my poetry challenge and I’m definitely getting to like the routine of just picking up a book of poems and reading for a few minutes. I discovered this beautiful book on my shelves and can’t believe that it’s just been sitting there for years. As it’s February, it seemed like an excellent choice for a month that includes Valentine’s Day.

This fairly unromantic poem for St Valentine’s day made me smile.

Valentine
My heart has made its mind up
And I’m afraid it’s you
Whatever you’ve got lined up
My heart has made its mind up
And if you can’t be signed up
This year, next year will do
My heart has made its mind up
And I’m afraid it’s you

Wendy Cope

Hope you like the poem too. See you next week for week 7 💗💗
