Love is and love is not

3WW given words:
frown devious venomous

Love is and love is not
A greeting card so beautifully woven
not something to be frowned on

Love is and love is not
To be taken lightly
without the overriding emotions

Love is and love is not
To be left in the wrong hands
mishandled and devious

Love is and love is not
To be let loose
with venomous onslaughts

So what then is love?
Search me!

  8. Love is something we know and yet we don't know truly ... as illustrated in your words, love can never be truly defined ... beautiful :-)

  12. i think love is not as trite or as easy as greeting cards make it seem....
    love is something we are always searching for...
    when we put our hands on it we will know...smiles.

  16. I think love is different things for different people and the more we analyse the less we know. Enjoyed your poem,
