Bonjour Poetry Lovers!
Today we get one step closer to the end of the alphabet with our celebration of the letter “V”, but remember, I recently announced that we would START OVER from “A” once we reached the end because we’re all having so much fun writing poems that we should just KEEP ON DOING IT! If you have written a poem today for “V” you can post the link to your blog where the poem is posted in my comments so we can visit you to read it OR just post your poem in my comments here! We’ll SHARE……………..
So without further ado, I hereby present my salute to the letter “V”…………..
“V”
Valentine
By Sammy Kimmell, 11/10/16
Although it isn’t February
And not “that special day”
If you love somebody dearly
Then you simply have to say –
The day is so much brighter
When your Valentine is there
You show them that you love them
And that you really, truly care.
A special hug or squeeze works
So does a great big smile
You simply want to be with them
For longer than “a while”.
I think that the word Valentine
Means the one that you adore
The one you want to be near always
And would do anything for.
My Mom and I are Valentines
It’s exactly how we feel
Valentines forever
Our love is the REAL deal!…………….
Mom and I have always been super duper close…………..she looks at me across the room and I will wink………she will wink back………..we have communicated. Mom says she can just THINK of me during her day and I will “meow” from wherever I am in the house – like I know she thought of me. The one thing I do that irritates her (!!!) is that at night if she just happens to wake up for a minute and is lying there waiting to fall back asleep, I “know” she has woken up because she will hear me call her from downstairs………….yeah maybe we have a psychic bond or something?!?!?! Whatever, we are very close and while I adore my Dad too (after all it’s been the three of us together for almost 17 years!!!), Mom and I are CLOSER than CLOSE. Maybe she was a cat in a previous life? Anyway, that’s why I wrote this poem for “V”.
Next week we have “W”……………..then just three more letters before we start all over again! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Make someone feel special today – write a poem for them!
Until NEXT Thursday!
Au Revoir!
Monsieur Sam the Poet Man
P.S. We are also joining up with our friend Brian’s “Thankful Thursday” Blog Hop.
Since Mom and I are very THANKFUL for each other, we think we qualify!!!

V stood for voter; V did not stand for victory. Our poem today is about the letter V … and it is posted at Zoolatry.

Though I must compliment you Sammy ~ as your poem is far more uplifting and happy today than ours is!

Sammy, that is the MOST BEAUTIFUL & HEARTFELT love poem ever written. For some crazy reason, our mom didn’t think she could write a Valentine poem in November. She had planned to write a “Victory” poem but their was none. You and your mom truly have a special connection and relationship, which we always enjoy reading and hearing about. Thanks for starting Thoroughly Poetic Thursday. This has definitely become one of ur favorite weekly posts. Love to all. XOCK, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Jo and our mom.

Oh gosh, thank you for telling me you liked my poem today! Mom says valentines are “those we love” so it doesn’t have to be February to have a valentine!!! I know that for you all, your Mom is your valentine too. I’m also happy you enjoy Poetic Thursdays as I enjoy them very much too – I can’t WAIT to start the alphabet all over again! Thank you so much for pawticipating every week too – you do a magnificent job with poetry and we think “Visiting” is a wonderful subject for a poem. We love to visit our friends SO much. It’s the first thing Mom does when she goes on the computer every day – VISIT.
Love and Hugs, Sammy

Hi Tabbies – how’s things in Trout Towne? I’m glad you like my “V” poem but I think YOUR “V” poem is totally on targets for this time of year. The deer are EVERYWHERE and they can do a WHOLE lot of damage if they run out in front of cars (which they do frequently). WELL DONE haiku……thanks for pawticipating in my poetry day – you guys ROCK!
