Mike Gentile Poet Shape

If Love Was A Gun

     
    If love was a gun, what would its bullets be  
    would ammunition be the cure for poverty I 
      see, would every round that pierces minds
                       be the     missing link, would every 
                      round         pervade our hearts and
                              change the way we think 
                                           If love was a gun
                                            then would love 
                                              be everywhere
                                               would evening 
                                                 news be filled 
                                                     of hope for 
                                                         everyone 
                                                          to share

Karen Jones July 10, 2024 at 5:49 AM What a creative idea expertly executed with word and form! I’m in awe! Great job Mike Gentile July 10, 2024 at 8:58 AM Thank you Karen!

Panagiota Romios June 21, 2024 at 10:57 AM Great poem. And you are an artist with this form, Mike. I tried this form, it does not work for me, We can see a gun as evil, a gun cam kill the innocent and also save lives, I think our words are powerful, too for good or evil. Great message, Pangie xx Mike Gentile June 21, 2024 at 11:46 AM Thank you so much Pangie xxoo

Gershon Wolf June 20, 2024 at 7:31 PM Awesome shape poem, Mike. My feeling: If love were a gun, a rainbow would come out when you pull the trigger. ~ Just sayin' Karen Jones July 10, 2024 at 5:50 AM Hahaha Gershon Mike Gentile June 21, 2024 at 4:29 AM That would not be a bad idea GW!!! Thank you sir and Happy Friday!!

Silent One June 20, 2024 at 1:04 PM Nice shape, very clever.. If love was a gun, we would need a lot of bullets to eradicate all the hate and genocide in this world... and there is also a lot of poverty to eradicate, do we have enough bullets? Mike Gentile June 20, 2024 at 5:54 PM I can only hope so Silent One!! Thank you my friend!
