In honor of Valentine’s Day, I wrote a not-so-serious Shakespearean sonnet. Enjoy!
LOVE
There was great happiness around the world
Young marriages made and old ones renewed
Dances, good spirits, and white dresses twirled
Yet love his majesty hadn’t valued
Ban of marriage though sinful accepted
To have no more weddings from this day on
St. Valentine just simply neglected
His power to marry never withdrawn
We remember him and all that he said
Because the king cried out, “Off with his head!”
Have a very happy Valentine’s Day, and be sure to share the tidbits of history from the sonnet with your loved ones!

Not the purest sonnet, but fun! Hope you had a good day.
