    Valentine's poem contrasts common gifts used to represent love like roses and cards with an onion, which has deeper symbolic meaning. The poet aims to express love in a more profound way than typical representations and directly states the onion is what she gives instead of "red roses or a satin heart" and other common gifts that have become overly used symbols of love. The poem follows a romantic path through metaphor to better interpret the theme of love for the reader.

    Valentine and sonnet 43

    Love poems can often incur in different perspectives of love as the poet’s own
    experiences and beliefs resonate within the fabulous verses about deracinated and
    intense love.

    Poetic language and literary devices.

    There is a certain romanticism in the path the verse follows through the poet and it
    searches to ameliorate and elucidate the interpretation of the theme the reader might
    have whilst reading it. Valentine intends to express love as a metaphorical onion with a
    more profound meaning than any other common love representation or what she calls
    gifts void of significance. The onion leads to the main theme of the poem without the
    need of the common banality that red roses, satin hearts, kissograms or cute cards
    bring with them because of being overworked as love characterizations. The poet is
    very direct for that matter and directly and repeatedly expresses the contrast between
    the void gifts and the lyrical subject as shown in the next quotes: “Not a red rose or a
    satin heart” “Not a cute card or a kissogram” “I give you an onion.”
