One Art
The art of loving isn’t hard to master
So many things seem filled with love.
To be lost in a love forever.
Love more everyday. Accept the disaster
Of a lost mind hours thinking of your love.
The art of loving isn’t hard to master.
Then practice loving farther, loving faster
People, and places, and who it is you have to love.
All of these will bring us together.
I lost my heart, And look! My forever
Next-to-last, of my love went.
To be lost in a love forever.
I gained hope, a lovely one. And faster
Some realms I owned, I will always have hope
I love them, and it will be a forever.
Even loving you, a great gesture
I shant have lied. For I hope
The art of loving isn’t hard to master
Though it may look like a great disaster.
(Based on the poem One Art by Elizabeth Bishop, this was a project in creative writing)
