Ruth Toole Poet Quintain (English)

Untitled

Love is...
    the reason I hate.
Love is...
    the reason I cry.
Love is...
     the reason I fight.
Love is...
      the reason I mourn.
Love is...
      the reason I sing.
Love is...
      the reason I dance.
Love is...
      the reason I paint.
Love is...
      the reason I write.
Love is...
      the reason I travel.
Love is...
      the reason I hide.
Love is...
      the reason I help.
Love is...
      the reason I learn.
Love is...
      the reason I die.
