Writing a valentine's day poem
Valentine's poems carry an extra burden: the recipient knows the date forced your hand. The way through is to write something so specific it could not possibly have come off a shelf.
Three things that make it work
Undercut the occasion
Acknowledging that the date is commercial nonsense, and writing the poem anyway, is more charming than pretending otherwise.
One private reference
Something only the two of you would catch. It converts a poem into evidence of paying attention.
Funny is allowed
Most couples communicate in jokes far more than in declarations. A poem in the wrong register reads as insincere even when it is not.
What to avoid
Roses being red. Even as a knowing joke it has been made too many times to land.
An example
I do not believe in this day and neither do you. We have agreed on it loudly, several years running. I have written you a poem regardless. Do not make it a thing.
