Written by a friend of mine, I thought it was hilarious, I really don't care for Valentine's Day so it was written for me.  I'm not sure if it's a sonnet, but it does have 14 lines lol.. i think..  anyway, i don't swear *gasp* so this is kind of weird for me to submit, but bear in mind that i didn't write it.  Enjoy! ]]></description>            </item>

Inevitably, someone is the romance winner and someone is the despicable romance loser who must spend the next 364 days atoning for his or her paltry offering of daisies, baby&#146;s breath and musical card.

A smile from a pretty face ignites  feelings for weeks upon weeks,<br />
Your head is spinning fast and your  acting like a fool,<br />
And still all the popular kids seem to  think its cool.<br />
<br />
They always fall for the pretty girls  and all the muscular boys,<br />
Its a never-ending process that cant  be fixed without a choice,<br />
Ignore those feelings in your head;  youll just be led on,<br />
Love is a bitter game of chess and  were all the powerless pawns.<br />
<br />
Then comes the couple in the dark  sharing feelings physically,<br />
The girl thinks its real love and the  guys just being horny,<br />
Her lips are tight against his and she  thinks that this is heaven,<br />
But then that perve is satisfied and  hes already leaving.<br />
<br />
Weve all seen the movies where the guy  falls in love with the girl next door,<br />
In real life this guy is just bringing  his money and in return getting a  whore,<br />
Slow dances and candle lit dinners get  people in the mood,<br />
I just like candle lit dinners because  to stare at his nose would be rude.<br />
<br />
Love is for lonely old ladies and all  those high school stalkers,<br />
Cause as soon as you reject them their  putting threats inside your locker,<br />
And everyone wants a love that will  last and will constantly try,<br />
But in the end their attempts were  futile, all youll do is cry.<br />
<br />
I dont know why everyone falls in love  its all a bunch of crap,<br />
Love was made by the hallmark company  to get more money back,<br />
When Valentines Day comes around you  think its sweet to get this and that,<br />
In about 20 years that candy will stay  and youll blame him for getting fat.<br />
<br />
I dont know why people fall in love;  its such a pointless thing,<br />
Were giving into to childish dreams  and imagining,<br />
The sad thing is in the end we all will  fall for loves game,<br />
Your good years were wasted away by  love, now thats a crying shame. ]]></media:description>

        <media:text type="html"><![CDATA[ Dear Valentine,<br /><br />Look, I appreciate the sentiment and all, but chocolate tastes better when it's bought half price the day after. Roses are pretty until they wilt and the petals shrivel up and the stem bows like a magician taking his last bow of the night. Am I being too cynical? Sorry, but you know I'm right. Where's your sense of romance the rest of the year? It doesn't mean anything today. It's an artificial construct designed to boost sales during a slow time of the year and how is that romantic exactly?<br /><br />Let's be honest, you're just hoping you'll get some later tonight, right? Because you killed a few flowers. It's kind of insulting that ]]></media:text>

V-Day stands for Valentine's, Victory, and Vagina. <br /><br />This poem is based of of the Rifleman's Creed and the first part and last part are directly from the Creed except for the replacing of Rifle with Vagina. The first line went through my head and I decided to look up the entire Rifleman's Creed. <br /><br />It struck me how easily the word Vagina could replace Rifle and make sense, and it really meant something. Replacing rifle with vagina turns the Creed into one of peace and hope, not through war, but through strength and speaking out. I know I'd much rather own a vagina than a gun.
