Many years ago, I wrote a Valentine poem (the year was 1992) <br />for a competition on the local radio. <br />The first one I wrote seemed to me OK, <br />and then my wife told me that it was too long. <br />Out came the pen and paper <br />and I sat down and wrote another one. <br />I sent it in and lo and behold <br />it was read out on the radio <br />and neither of us heard it. <br />We did not even know <br />that it had been aired <br />until a box of heart shaped chocolates <br />came landing on our door. <br />Being such a kind person, <br />I’m going to share the poems with you. <br />They are called appropriately <br />Valentine Comp Poem 1 and 2. <br />Read and enjoy what this silly sod <br />would do to win a box of chocolates <br />for his love so true. <br /> <br />31 January 2008<br /><br />David Harris<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/writing-a-valentine-comp-poem/
