Love In the Title

I've learned the secret of writing poetry
Everyone likes reading about love
As long as the word 'love' is in the title
It makes everyone's heart start to buzz

An age old emotion that hard to control
When struck, to succumb is a given
So easy to fall, so hard to ignore
To that age old desire we're driven

So my advice to you up and coming poets
Put love in the title of each poem
Even if the poem's about eating spaghetti
A shameless act of self promotion

Just pretend you didn't hear it from me
Not sure any studies have been made
But trust me, use the word love in the title
And you'll have it made in the shade

Carol Eastman February 26, 2014 at 8:59 AM You'll have it made in the shade any where, with a Dragon. They give a ton of shade in the summer... and ERR... Heat! Owe Dragon! I was singing your virtues! Honestly! You're a real BIG BABY! No that wasn't a complement... Hey! If you can flame my new sneakers, with me in them... then I can, too, complain! You started it!... I did not! I loved those sneakers, they were broken in! I know you feel better... But if you want to go shopping... ASK! Silly Dragon! A Mom's love being tested... Sigh!
