A Poem a Day #14 Love & Not Love

Today is Tuesday, which means two prompts.

First prompt: Write a love poem.

You

Please
Thank-you
I'm sorry
You first
Let's share
Remember when...
Let's try again
This is for you
I thought you
might like it
Can I get you
something
You rest
You deserve it
You make me
smile
You make me
laugh
You are the
heart of me.

Second prompt: Write an anti-love poem.

Your Fault

Pain
Bruises
You are ugly
You are stupid
You are worthless
You made me do it
You are useless
You are dumb
You are fat
Tears
Pain

    I like the lists. Reminds me of when I T. A.ed Daily Themes at Yale. A student did a list of lies, ending with "The check is in the mail," and "I'll call you." It was effective.

    Good poem.
    You forgot I'm sorry I won't do it again.

    That fits right in as well.

    I am going into the Dream Video now.
    To bad there has to be such things going on in the world.
    Every person is individual and special.
