Kenneth R. Merrill Poet Quatrain

To Fall In Love

To fall in love, and madly so,
Is there a greater thing than this?
Wars were fought for lesser things—
Might I battle for a kiss?

There is no sword too weighty;
No hill too steep to try;
To fall in love and madly so—
To fall, or standing, die.

Diane Klimczak September 20, 2019 at 9:31 AM I found your writing per your direction from another site. Stand tall and be proud, your poems are lovely and paint great word pictures. I’m glad I found you. Kenneth R. Merrill September 20, 2019 at 11:51 AM Hi Diane, and of course, thank you! No two people will see this, or any other poem exactly alike, which is fascinating. But however you see it, I’m glad that you did see it. Have a wonderful day, and don’t forget to smell the roses ?? ~ Ken
