Jack Ellison Poet Quatrain

Love Is

Love is...

The sweet scent of roses in bloom
The smell of new mown hay
The freshness of a morning in June
A bright and sun filled day

Love is...

The delicate trill of a mockingbird
The softness of a gentle touch
Rivulets of rain running down your cheek
A loved one who means so much

Love is...

A whisper, a glance, a gentle caress
Loving and tender sighs
Thoughtful words of sweet adoration
A look of passion in your eyes

Love is...

An accumulation of all of the above
And perhaps a few I've missed
The feeling of love is easily recognized
Sealed with a warm gentle kiss!

Laura Breidenthal September 18, 2020 at 10:42 PM This one is surely a beauty. The beginning kind of reminds me of an Elton John song "Let me wake up in the morning, to the smell of new mown hay, to laugh and cry, to live and die, in the brightness of my days." Love your romantic side, Jack. Always, Laura Jack Ellison September 20, 2020 at 5:16 AM Ah Elton... there's only one! MAGIC!!!!!!!!!
