Explanation:

This question is about "Valentine for Ernest Mann"

In the poem we can see that the author affirms that poetry is not just what we see written on a paper full of literary resources and meaning, but poetry is anywhere and we are able to find it if we are willing to do so. In a nutshell, the author states that we must live allowing ourselves to find poetry anywhere, even on our roof, in the shadows, in the eyes, among others.
