JoelJosol Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Here comes Valentines like a deadline, and I've got nothing to show for a result. Unable to secure a scarce resource, a lover, for example, it has all been a struggle. I think I know what's up for me come V-day- a pink slip on my desk, minus the chocolate and roses.

rumisong Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 its a fun poem Joel- not such a fun emotion though... we poets so do suffer for our art, eh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyv Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Not quite the Valentine you were hoping for! The metaphor seems to work both ways. First, the office and work represent the occasion. Then, it's the other way around. Quote Here is a link to an index of my works on this site: tonyv's Member Archive topic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoelJosol Posted May 21, 2009 Author Share Posted May 21, 2009 Thanks, rumisong and tony. Thanks for the observation, Tony. It's mutually reflexive metaphor :-) Quote "Words are not things, and yet they are not non-things either." - Ann Lauterbach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
