YOU ARE MY SPECIAL VALENTINE
On Love and affection between intimate companions
celebrated on feb 14th
Red roses, as we think of them today, are the traditional
symbol for love and romance
The most common modern form of the poem is:
Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
Sugar is sweet,
And so are you
William Wallace Denslow- illustrations forRoses are red, from a 1901 edition of MOTHER GOOSE Traditional: published in England 1784
ORIGINS- The origins of the poem may be traced at least as far
|
back as to the following lines written in 1590 by Sir Edmund Spenser
from his epcic THE FAERIE QUEEN
It was upon a Sommers shynie day,
When Titan faire his beames did display,
In a fresh fountaine, farre from all mens vew,
She bath'd her brest, the boyling heat t'allay;
She bath'd with roses red, and violets blew,
And all the sweetest flowers, that in the forrest grew
Mix orange juice with salt and drizzle inside cantaloupe
Put sorbet scoops on top.
Ooh, this sorbet looks perfect for Valentine's!

hi sonali, thank you for coming dear. have a great day and a great valentine to you too
DeleteHi Wan, wow! I am impressed with your this very attractive, entertaining and romantic valentine day love posting. Outstanding!
ReplyDeleteAnd that valentine sorbet one spoon in mouth is a forget mother's name.
On Valentine night, a gentleman can turn to being a poet....with an offering like this.
If I could be anything, I'd wish to be a tear to be conceived in your heart, born in your eye and die at your lips.
And Wan, if you were to hold that single red rose in front of your mirror, you will see 2.
You keep a song in your heart, stay young, stay beautiful.

Remembered my ex-boss, u know who, his late mum's birthday was on Valentines' day, I had to look around for 68 pink roses to send to her.
At her age, 68yrs then - still so romantic as any 18yr old girl. Really miss her a lot.
Cheers.
