                      A softly lit indoor scene shows a woman reclining against white pillows on a bed, wearing a chunky pink turtleneck sweater. Her eyes are closed as she holds a phone to her ear with one hand and a clear drinking glass in the other, suggesting an intimate, emotional moment. The neutral background and warm tones create a quiet, reflective mood. Overlay text appears in the upper left, and a small owl logo sits near the lower left corner. calls – TEXT: Michael, Debbie Cutler, Valentine’s Poetry

                      A black, softly textured background holds a handmade pink paper heart at the center. The heart has been torn down the middle and carefully taped back together with two overlapping strips of beige masking tape, forming an uneven X that feels tender and imperfect. The image carries a quiet, mended-but-still-broken mood. Above the heart, pink lettering introduces the piece. paper hearts TEXT: For the Forlorn on Valentine’s Day, Poetry, Paula Frew

                      For the Forlorn on Valentine’s Day

                      Paper hearts, and roses red, for some, the day is filled with dread. Some spend the day with their “only.” Some merely spend the day lonely…
