A Day Like Any Other
With like minds, we scorn this greeting card holiday,
yet my mind still turns to you, a turn made
nearly every moment since that first turn
on the path that brought our hearts together,
since the first words I wrote for you, words
I would write on any day, even this.
My un-Valentine’s Day poem.
And more words of LOVE.

Ah … , River, this is so beautiful. It speaks of love held deeply and true.

Delightful poem!
Valentine’s Day lost its significance somewhere after grade-school … popular now (at least here in Austin) as chocolate-covered strawberry extravaganza.

Thank you! I’m new at podcasting and feel pretty exposed and vulnerable. Your poem fit the theme very well. I hope I can include more in the future.

Go Dog Go Cafe liked the podcast on Cupid. I think you will get more exposure. Here is what the managing editor wrote to me. Barbara, first…thank you for taking the time to put together such a thoughtful, thorough, and informative podcast. I was expecting something quick with a few poems. What I discovered was a very informative reflection on poetry, love and how art informs an essential emotion of our humanity. I am very excited about this.
On Sunday I will be doing my weekly “chat” here at Go Dog Go and want to feature your podcast in my discussion. As I continue to work with the baristas here at the cafe I really want to highlight some of the great work people are doing to promote poetry and creative writing in general. Your work seems like a perfect place to begin.
