What Is Love?

Hey guys, there's a love poem contest going on at my school.  Do you think I got a shot at winning?



What Is Love?

Love is the pink petals of a newborn rose
Love is the soft sunlight of a dawning sky
Love is the crude kiss of a wandering wind
Love is the sustaining soil of a verdant earth

Love is the chubbiness of an infant’s cheeks
Love is the depth of a smile’s dimples
Love is the swelling of a woman’s heart
Love is the yearning of a man’s soul

Love is the embrace of a faithful father
Love is the caress of a marvelous mother
Love is the jabs of a bothersome brother
Love is the smack of a smirking sister

Love is the world’s word of misuse
Love is the child’s emblem of hope
Love is the star’s source of light
Love is the sage’s center of thought

Love is the seamless intertwining of fingers
Love is the undeniable power of Shakespeare
Love is the potent adversary of hate
Love is the purest essence of life

Love is the cross of Christ on a hill

  1. Yes, love is misused. It's portrayed so wrongly in media. I really liked the last line.
    You have more than a chance at winning, Bridgette.
    Good job!
