Hate

Hate

Inks its

Joyless stains

Killing hope for

Love


April 8, 2019 for Joseph May's Light Up The Page 4 Poetry Contest
* Hopefully hate and love are considered related by the fact they are direct opposites which tremendously affect our world!

Matthew Anish Date: 4/9/2019 3:25:00 PM Nice message here! I know that most people who take poetry seriously teach to earn money, Of course there are all kinds of people who write poems - of all ages. I know of sanitation workers who have written odes! In the union paper of DC 37 there was a story about a worker/poet. Peace & Love Matthew Anish Login to Reply

Caren Krutsinger Date: 4/9/2019 12:16:00 AM I have to watch myself, for the word "hate" has way too much power; I try to not only not use it even sparingly, but I try to never use it. Thanks for the reminder, Andrea. Login to Reply

Paul Callus Date: 4/8/2019 4:46:00 PM Very good, Andrea, and the alphabetical rule does not appear to have hindered you much. I would find no objection to hate & love...they match in opposing ways. Regards // paul Login to Reply

Brandy Nicole Date: 4/8/2019 2:45:00 PM Hate is like breathing to some, they can't stop. Nor do they want to. Love breathes life into those that seek goodness. There is so much truth in these few words. ~ Brandy Login to Reply
