Notes About The Poem

Nailing Jell-O to a Wall Poetry Contest. Sponsored by: Suzette Richards

Love Is Like Jell-O

Love, it is like trying to nail Jell-O to a wall/tree,
or trying to catch a big yellow bee.
Love is like wearing your heart on your sleeves,
never knowing them or ourselves or thieves.

Truely, Paula, we don't really know ourselves nor do we know the other person. Sometimes someone with whom we are so close will surprise us. Thanks for sharing this one with us. Sara K
