Happy Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day, also known as Singles Awareness Day for those without significant others, brings to mind chocolate, kisses, pink and red flowers and hearts. For the romantics among us, true love blossoms on this day, tears flow down pale cheeks and smiles grace their lips. These poems are inspired by 8 books, each one chronicling the story of a Bridgerton sibling. Only two words need be said. Julia Quinn. Witty and romantic, each book holds a special place in my heart. And so, without anymore ado, Happy Valentine's.

Anthony
Viscount Bridgerton,
The oldest son.
For me,
He's the only one.

Benedict
Cinderella at the ball
caught his watchful eye.
He made of her a painting
unable to say good-bye.

Colin
Always traveling,
Always gone.
Despite this,
My heart he has won.

Daphne
She didn't want to marry
Neither did he.
But they didn't know
What one day would be.

Eloise
To Sir Phillip,
She wrote many a letter.
He couldn't have me
anyone better.

Francesca
When he was wicked,
he seduced them all,
Now he doesn't dare cheat,
He doesn't have the gall.

Gregory
Almost too late
For the wedding he came.
Having made a mistake,
falling for the wrong dame.

Hyacinth
It was in his kiss,
But she didn't know
Neither did he
until they met at the musical.
