Valentine Lace
Last night my yard
Was decked in lace
Delicate, feathery, snowflake lace.
Each open space
In the cypress trees,
Each snowlined place
On the white birch bough
Forms a finely stenciled doily now.
If a crimson cardinal
Should light in the row
Of sunflecked trees
Fluffed up with snow,
I'd have a valentine,
Splendid, bright,
Gracefully traced in red and white.

Valentine Friends
Recite the poem below and let the
children act out the movements described.
Five little valentines,
So bright and gay,
Were waiting to be given
On Valentine's Day.
And just when they thought
That their wait would never end,
Each found a way
To make a special friend.
The first little valentine,
Lacy and pink,
Told someone "I like you"
With a great big wink.
(Wink eye)
The second little valentine,
Painted white and red,
Told someone "I like you"
With a pat on the head.
(Make patting motion)
The third little valentine,
A flowery miss,
Told someone "I like you"
With a great big kiss.
(Blow a kiss)
The fourth little valentine
Cried, "Take me, take me, please!"
And told someone "I like you"
With a great big squeeze.
(Make hugging motion)
The fifth little valentine,
The last one in the pile,
Told someone I like you"
With a great big smile.
(Smile)
