Once more I bring you a small selection of poems that are probably not the best choices for valentines. Unless your sweetheart has excellent taste in poetry, and a sense of humour, that is.
First is the 17th-century poet, William Cartwright, who’s had it with the metaphysicals…
Here’s one for us workaholics…
Love and death (and dust) always seem to go hand-in-hand…
It’s so hard choosing just one Wendy Cope poem, but this one’s won me over…
And finally, this one’s just for you…
P.S. Don’t forget to read last year’s love poems. โค
