Love Is...

Outline: This is my contribution to the Valentine Day Competition and to prove to everyone that I'm not the hard-nosed cynic I pretend to be!
Love is red roses delivered at dawn
And Valentines cards full of pink satin hearts.
It's washing the dishes and mowing the lawn
And keeping a lid on those little old farts!

Love is a walk hand in hand on the beach
And being right there if she swims out too far.
It's fetching down things from a shelf she can't reach
And telling her daily she looks like a star.

Love is a melody sung from the heart,
A hand that is proffered and taken in turn,
A poem that speaks to you when you're apart
And makes it impossible not to return.

Love is a meal at the end of the day,
A sun that shines brightly whatever the weather,
A smile on your lips that will not go away,
A place where you dream of a future together.

Love is the candle that lights up the fire
That kindles the passion that sweeps you away.
Love is contentment and love is desire
And love is your home at the end of the day.

First of all let me congrtulate you on your acting ability. A glimpse of
a romantic at heart.
take a look at the first word in each line, bit of tweaking can have a bit of fun, laaa laaa love makes you go gaga .

Don't you think the introduction of Accrostix might throw a doubt on my sincerity??

That is technically perfect in its flow, and its even mega mushy too but still not too gushy....just the little things in life that add up to love. A lovely poem and I hope the lucky one appreciates it too!

Awh, simple sentiments and not too overly sentimental - just enough to make me nod and smile a little in recognition... lovely. Very Happy

The first verse is a glimpse of the Anony we all know and love dearly - you know the one with the wicked sense of humour. I think this is a lovely poem, whether written as an exercise or from the heart it hits the spot for me!
Thank you for sharing it with us.

This is so beautiful, I love to read this kind of work, I find as much as the person tries to say they are not the kind of person that writes or feels like this, but then does has a heart of gold and feels so much warmth inside, I loved the line and telling her daily she looks like a star, This made me smile, Thanks for sharing this Smile

The reviewer would appreciate your comments on: I will wait for you
