Poetry Friday - Hearts Are Everywhere

 Happy Valentine's Day and welcome to Poetry Friday to celebrate our sweetest day where, yes, hearts are everywhere, even in Peeps. I find them all over my home and am happy to share some old-fashioned Valentines given to my mother-in-law years ago. 



         


























At Day's End!

Sweet poem, Linda! I like the images you chose to go with it, especially the birds :-) Thanks for hosting!

Your post is full to the brim with Valentine Love, as is your "At Days End" Valentine poem <3 And–yes to "Celebrate always!" I especially like the Valentine Line poem–lots of Loveliness here, Happy Valentine's Day Linda! xo

And oops, thanks for hosting!

Be my Valentine, Linda! Thanks for hosting and for sharing all these warm and happy treasures. I enjoyed the little fishing verse, and your poem even more. Here's to hearts!
XO

Happy Valentine's Day! I'm sending you some sugary love (but, eww...heart peeps just don't do it for me). But, the birdie Valentine does...and so does the poem. I hope you get to spend some time with your littlest luvs tomorrow. Thanks for hosting this week. I look forward to catching up with some sweetness.

I love all those hearts! Such a sweet poem too. Happy Valentine's Day to you, Linda, and thanks so much for hosting this week. :)

Valentine's Day is such a sweet holiday that should be filled with love. Your sweetness has filled the page with sweet reminders, Linda. I should take out my collection of antique and vintage valentines. Last week, Sierra and I created paper valentines made out of red heart dollies, just like I did with her Mommy when she was little. Happy Valentine's Day, Linda. I left you a winter haiku at last week's post but it could be meant for Valentine's Day, too.

I love the vintage Valentines, and your tall happy one most of all! Thanks for sweetly hosting on this special day! Happy Valentine's Day to you!

And here's a valentine for you, Linda: https://www.flickr.com/photos/junibears/47084637321/in/dateposted/ Thank you for being our PF matchmaker today. Love your skinny poem!

Those vintage Valentine cards are wonderful. They made me think back to long-ago hand-created Valentine cards. The cards exchanged these days by kids make me sad. There's no thought or effort involved and typically they're so commercial--based on the newest movie or game. I miss the days of doilies and blotchy glue marks (said the old lady). Thanks so much for hosting today and for sharing your delightful Valentine. Love the title!

Heidi Mordhorst said...

Your images and your poem: sweet and simple!! Love it, and thank you for hosting, along with playing the February Challenge too!

Mary Lee said...

Thanks for hosting us! You have so much heart that I'm not surprised there are hearts all around you! Happy Valentine's Day!

Kimberly Hutmacher said...

Margaret Simon said...

Thanks for hosting with such delightful Valentine surprises. Love your tall skinny poem full of love.

Irene Latham said...

Dear Linda, that poem is wonderful and fills me with all the warm, red love. Thank you!! xo

Amy LV said...

I have read your poem over and over. I love how thin and yet how full it is all at once. Your hearts are making me think about the beautiful doily heart valentines my mom just made for all of the children she reads to in schools. Love is for sharing, and you share so much of it. Thank you for hosting, Linda! xx

Love your poem, Linda! I've posted a favorite poem of mine at Wild Rose Reader: Valentine for Ernest Mann by Naomi Shihab Nye. HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!!

Karen Edmisten said...

I heart your poem, this post, and all its sweetness, Linda! :) Happy Valentine's Day!

Joyce Ray said...

I love your sweet valentine poem and the vintage cards you shared. The golden card with the girl and boy is the standout one for me. How fun that you're discovering hearts all around your home! Thanks for hosting and Happy Valentine's Day, Linda!

Linda B said...

Oh, my! What a lot of love in these Valentine posts today! Thank you for all the comments everyone! #amreading #amloving

Karen Eastlund said...

Happy Day, Linda! And thanks for hosting. I actually posted two posts ... one yesterday, one today, in case folks have time to visit both. There is something about Valentine's Day that makes one think of vintage hearts and poems, so I followed that thread. I love to think of your home strewn with Valentines!

Ramona said...

Happy Valentine's Day, Linda. Love your vintage Valentines and the skinny poem you created. A home strewn with Valentines is a wonderful image. And I recognize Christie's art (Celebrate Always) since I have one just like it in yellow on my bulletin board. Thanks for hosting on this special day. And I love your skinny poem!

Linda B said...

Thanks, Karen & Ramona. I loved both your posts, Karen, & how fun that you recognize the 'celebrate' sign-special memories, right?

Carol said...

I love your poem! Absolutely perfect! And so nice to see you yesterday!

Linda B said...

Thanks, Carol, yes, yesterday was great, & all too short! We do need to get together more often!

This is lovely Valentine poem, it brought a smile to my day. Thank you for sharing it.

Cheriee Weichel said...

Thanks for hosting Linda. I love all these vintage valentines. Your poem is just delightful.

Leigh Anne Eck said...

Hearts, hearts everywhere! I am trying to back in the poetry saddle again! I have a soft place for antiques, so I love these vintage valentines!

Linda B said...

Thanks, Alex, it was fun to write, a sentimental rhyme just for Valentine's Day!

Linda B said...

Thanks, Cheriee & Leigh Anne, I had many, given to me a long time ago by my mother-in-law, from her teaching days, & I say 'had' because I've now given them all to my brother for his antique store. Pictures remain. Those old ones are special, I agree.

Ruth said...

Thanks for hosting, Linda! I finally made it through all the posts!

Linda B said...

You're welcome, Ruth. There were a lot this time! Have a good week ahead!
