By Christopher Roof. Concord-born and raised, he is an author of several books of verse and stories. He is a fantasist, a classical music buff and a connoisseur of pastries. He is also a frequent substitute teacher in the Concord public schools, where the artist who illustrated this page, Suzanne, is a student.
Again it's time for lace and hearts,
for roses red and Cupid's darts,
for sweetly sentimental lines
inscribed inside of valentines.
It's February's bit of bliss --
a box of chocolates and a kiss,
a certain smile from you-know-who.
Can dreams come true? They often do.
(From The Mythical Magical Poetry Book, 1995, published by the Magic Clockmaker's Guild.)
