Because I Love You

If hamburgers aren’t really made out of ham If jelly won't work to get out of a jam If something that’s old becomes something we knew It don’t really matter because I love you 8/30/19 Original Poem: It don't really matter For the: Arbitrium Divisa 3 Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Gregory R. Barden

This is great. And so much else doesn't matter when there is love :)

Just a snippet out of one of my poems for the contest. That's what they asked for so this is what I picked out. Thank you again Heidi

Reminds me of “roses are red, violets are blue...” a cute one

Thanks so much Kim. It was a partial poem for a contest. I believe you read the original a few years ago.

Thank you Connie. The contest rules said enter a four line verse from one of your previously posted poems that you feel could stand on its own, so I went back and found this in one of my fun pieces. I am happy you liked it.

Hi Chris, This is a good entry for the contest theme. At the end of the day the only thing that really matters is the love we give, and the love we receive. I wish you the best of luck in the contest :-) Alexis

Beautifully penned and great choice these four lines stand on their own, Yhen again I am sure each of your poems had four lines of beauty that would stand alone :) hugs
