Love

Once I thought I wanted some, So, I went looking for it. I looked long and hard, Finally found it, perfect! I took it home and used it. I thought it was a perfect fit. Then it began to itch. I scratched, but it got worse. I decided to take it back. Didn’t get much, it was used. Slow learner, I still want some.

Reminds me of my earlier years when I thought I knew everything about love. Older folks tried to warn me but I was thick-headed and I had to learn on my own. This is a great free verse. Thank you for sharing. Milt

Love is beautiful when done right and even when its bad we all still want some more. I love this piece. You have written about the truths of many.

Smile-What a creative write dear, "'Love'ly & Precious Barbara!"~Yes, it is like that old saying/song, "Looking for love in all the wrong places?"~And of course, time & revelations, more than not, will eventually cause quite an itch I believe? An old professor of mine once told me, that his girlfriend told him, "I think I just met my future ex-husband"~Smile~Lovely write dear-keep searching-and you shall find!~"Love Always, John!:)
