Valentine’s rosy filter

Plus a glass of love-philter

Provides confidence builder

For Val gal to woo hither. ; )

Oh, dearest kitty in vested fur-nishings, regarding that shiner…

Did you have a rabid rencounter with a not-so-feline miner?

Or, did you fail to land the KO punch of that declawed one-liner?

Regardless, please continue to sun yourself until you feel finer. ; )

Ducking in a new row of divers at sea,

Ducks think in queue of neurodiversity. ; )

Yes, the apartment was peeling and creaking—about as far a swing as possible from the refurbished retro renovation recently reviewed, but this one’s living-room window was just right—for a mollydooker, whose peccadillo was holding the brush up to the pane’s breaking light before each stroke *and* who especially needed the view of the bridge fore the mountainscape, a scene uncreatable in the more polished, albeit certainly less perfect place. ; )

Her heart,

Misty from endless turnabouts,

Scratched by diamondiferous dudes—

Who kneel for everyone else,

Etches ephemeral hope

Via a reflective memory

Of an ever missed light. ; )
