Spread Love

SPREAD LOVE (three haiku)

spread love    come on!    try!
be you like some growing tree
branching to the sky


no expectation
no!    love is a child of mind
no condemnation


love    not just giving
oh no!    to receive as well
you must be willing

Awesome Daver! I discuss this often with friends -- that is your third verse... how in the heck can love happen without receiving as well? At times it takes more love to receive than to give ... have to break down the ole pride. ...but I'm workin on it .... somebody wants to buy me a beer ... I Accept! now ain't that love?! :) Seriously I think this is an awesome poem from you Daver. Into my favs. Thanks. Your friend Robert

It spreads itself like a tree's branches. This triple haiku of love. Hey, I got your package today. I think I will like it just fine, and now, if I can just make the time to read it. There are three chapbooks now waiting for me to read! Please don't feel bad if I don't get to it before Xmas, but I promise you, eventually I will peruse it, Daver. It looks like it will be very enjoyable. Luv, Andrea

Ok! It's a deal! Daver and I try now. How could I not after receiving such nice comments on my poem today. So, You spread your love, I received it, I'm sure you had no expectation, but you got my gratitude and in so doing I spread love and Yes, I have no expectation. I feel like a child. I am giving and I am receiving. :) How am I doing? Best wishes, Caroline.

This poem gives the reader the inspiration to try and "spread love." What more could you hope to achieve? A joyous, uplifting poem, Daver! Love, Carolyn

Be nice if we could spread it like peanutbutter so it would stick. Keep the creative pen flowing. Sara
