Summertime In Doubt

lover #1

summertime in doubt...
love is like a Butterfly
singing in the rain.


lover #2

Hot in the city
wherever i lay my hat
send me an angel
love is like a battlefield
i’ll hang my tears out to dry.

Carolyn Devonshire Date: 3/12/2011 11:09:00 AM There is a remarkable contrast in these two poems, Harry. From what I've seen, however, love often seems like a battlefield. In fact, your poem inspired me to play Pat Benatar's song "Love Is a Battlefield" in the middle of writing this comment. Excellent entry for the contest and I wish you success!
