Line Breaks & Other Violent Crimes

These are things I think about in order to stay alive in Los Angeles.

I don’t know about you guys, but I tend to stress out about Valentine’s Day, because I a) hate the dinner crowds and the overpriced, crappy prix-fixe menus, and b) feel like there are a lot better ways to express my love than dropping $50 on some cheesy  lingerie set or something that will probably get forgotten about in a month anyway. And I also think it sucks in general when you’re single or just jaded.

But you know what I do like? Poems. And, let’s face it, everyone likes love poems, whether they’re serious or silly.

So: This Valentine’s Day, I will not only send whoever wants one a Valentine, but I will send them A VALENTINE WITH A PERSONALIZED POEM IN IT!

If you want, you have two options:

  1. I will write a personalized poem for your significant other and mail it in a super cute card that you can give to him/her as a prelude to some (probably) non-verbal foreplay, or 
  2. if you don’t have a significant other or you do and you’re just greedy and want all the valentines for yourself, I’ll write YOU a personalized poem!

To help me out on the personalized part, just give me one activity you/SO likes, one food/drink item, and a TV show or movie. So, you know, “My boyfriend Bill likes snowboarding, whiskey, and Friday Night Lights.” I will probably write you a sonnet unless otherwise specified. 

Just send me an email (eccantwell at gmail dot com) with your address and the relevant details, and l will GET MY RHYME ON.
