Pasado el mes del amor =) A POEM FOR BEGINNERS

I am so glad it’s over!

YAY!!!!! GOODBYE February, the month of love, the month of the scary 14^th.

In my country, bad luck day isn’t Friday 13^th, but Tuesday 13^th, and this year, 2018, it was not only proven to be an unlucky day for me but a prelude to the gloomy 14^th: Valentine’s day.

As I write this, I begin to wonder what would have been Edgar Allan Poe’s stand on Valentine’s. I bet we would share quite a few insights about the unfortunate date.

I might get to understand in a distant future the meaning of this “special” occasion.  Right now, to me is just a reminder of my loneliness – romantically speaking.

Don’t get me wrong. I AM a Romantic –  I love reading romantic poetry and love watching romantic landscapes; I even talk to the moon! –  But I just happen to dislike romance.

I may have just lost hope, not really lost it, but hid it.  If I ever get the chance to meet someone like “Doctor House” in real life, I guess he would be able to give me a diagnosis, but I am not sure anyone could actually find me a cure.

At this particular point in my life, I am a romantic who does not believe in love.

It is no joke when I say I am truly happy because February is finally over.  Last year my Facebook status was a quote from this 1990’s popular MTV cartoon character called Daria, “Wake me up on the 15^”.  This year I decided not to post anything because I would have ended up writing something like, “Wake me up in March.” and, well, I truly do not want anyone to get me wrong.

My usual Facebook status on February 14th.

But here I come again, inspired by the end of the month.  Looking forward to continuing my romance with solitude –  (could it be just a coincidence the fact that I am actually reading “100 years of Solitude”?….Makes me wonder…

Inspired by the love of the unloved, I felt like working on some poetry. And that is why I have prepared this super extra hyper elementary lesson, for true beginners who I hope would like to follow me in this adventure @ Miquette’s English.

Do not worry my dear Intermediate and Advanced learners!  I will soon be posting something for you! ´Cause Inspiration Is back!  Forced love is not in the air anymore! Goodbye Valentine’s! Goodbye Lovers!  Welcome March and the force of natural, unspoken, TRUE LOVE!

I’ll be Poe-sting soon!!!!
