 | From Megan Romer, your About Books & Literature Editor Our Valentine's Day tradition? On February 15, when all the heart-shaped boxes of chocolate are suddenly on 50% discount, we buy a few and then snuggle up on the couch, stuffing our faces and watching a few hours of bad television. Ah, romance. Perhaps your plans involve something a bit more traditional? | |
Love Is...
A tree. - Harriet Beecher Stowe
A clash of lightnings. - Pablo Neruda
A star. - William Shakespeare
A homeless guy. Robert "Bo" Burnham
A dog from hell. Charles Bukowski
It just keeps getting better, I promise. Our Guide to Grammar and Composition, Richard Nordquist, assembled this hilarious and poignant list of 99 metaphors for love. The 100th? You'll have to provide that one yourself.
| Love Poems for Valentine's Day
If your wife/partner/ladyfriend is anything like me, I promise that you cannot go wrong with a Valentine's card that consists of a folded piece of pretty paper upon which is written a classic poem. I'll be extra-happy if you include a box of discount chocolates in the mix. No, really.
