Kate pulls up the shade and throws a little love

Kate pulls up the shade and throws a little love

Roses are red,

Violets are blue,

And this week the Korner

Is for all of you.

 

Normally I use it

Just to make the grade,

But it’s come to my notice

People like the shade

 

That I’m throwing

At this thing and that,

From hallways to ground hogs,

You keep coming back.

 

It’s peculiar, I think,

Because all I do is complain.

So either you think I’m funny,

Or you’re all insane.

 

But I admire your devotion

On every Tuesday,

To have so many wonder

At what I might say.

 

You make me feel needed

And worth all your time.

I’m inspired to write

Nothing short of sublime

 

For our lovely Knight Crier

Because I know you’ll all read it,

And take the time to search

For my dazzling wit.

 

But wait, that compliment,

How did it get up there?

A slip on the keyboard,

Maner-bear, I swear.

 

I meant what I said,

This week is not about me.

There’s no Valentine satire –

Check out Natalie’s,

 

Which will come soon.

And hey, while you’re here,

Enjoy Tyra’s creativity

As new stories appear.

 

Oooh and aaah over Cydney,

Who’s photography inclined.

Mikayla’s flair for culture

Is relevantly twined.

 

Taylor’s got a writer’s voice

You wouldn’t see from looking at her.

And Dante’s got you covered

On all kinds of sports matter.

 

Ryan keeps things entertaining,

Full of school conspiracy.

Eric has high hopes for us,

Of the CNN variety.

 

One Madi keeps her cool

Taking down the Twitter grief,

While the other Madi kills her job

As editor in chief.

 

Steph has got the sass you need

To be editor number 2,

And Kee, my friend, or “Llave,”

You just keep doing you.

 

Regardless if you read my Korner,

You all deserve a mention.

Valentines are made with love,

And this is my intention.

 

Thank you all for sticking with me,

And I hope you’ll see it through.

So for now a happy Valentine’s Day

From me to all of you.
