Ready Valentine

A poem should convince you
Of its need to be a poem
And make you believe
In poetry even if only for
The few seconds it lasts
You are stung by something
Exotic like what does language want
So much preparation has gone
Into creating it and speaking it
You have to be ready
At a moment's notice
To leave it all behind
Everything ends in a poem
