    Letter Received From a 14-Year-Old Student

    On February 14, on what the world recognizes as Valentine’s Day, my honors English teacher asked his students to make Valentine cards. I couldn’t convince him to let me do something else, so I wrote this poem:

    If you know God,

    many would say,

    You would not celebrate

    Valentine’s Day.

    For it originated

    with the myth Cupid,

    An ancient false god

    of some who were stupid.

    So this card reflects,

    in a poetic way,

    Why I don’t celebrate

    Valentine’s Day.
