What Is Love

What is love?
I don't claim to know;
yet, poets,
songwriters,
theologians and dreamers,
all swear it exists.

Hi Emile, May I point out a spelling mistake not picked up by Line for the contest? The word is "swear", not "sware". "Sware" is an archaic past tense. Your poem is of now and is in present tense.

Thanks, Julia, but it wasn't Line's fault, I changed the word after the contest (from "Know" to "Sware") my bad...I appreciate the correction, my friend, Emile.

For your consideration, what do you think of "they all seem to know" for your last line? Call it an accidental rhyme.

Thanks, Line, for the placement and your suggestion...but then it wouldn't be a Shadorma, my friend, Emile.

Interesting lines penned in this one. Most people have experienced it at least once in their life. It is hard to define for sure. Reads like a good contender for the contest to me. Way to go. Thanks for sharing. Sara
