POEM : LOVE

Love

Love is the palpitation
when I hear his powerful, enthusiastic speech at the student council election.
Love is the spell
that magically makes me enchanted with his charming sandy hair.
Love is the solicitude
when he sprains his ankle in a school tennis match.
Love is the courage
to print my name with a heart on a love letter and secretly drop it in his locker.
Love is the uneasiness
in the days that creep by like years, anxiously waiting for his answer.






Love is the ecstasy
when I hear his alluring voice, asking "Would you be my girlfriend?"
Love is the warmth
of seeing him holding a cup of latte, waiting outside my house in a chilly morning.
Love is the surprise
when he pulls out two movie tickets and a bag of honeyed popcorn.
Love is the rolling tears
to see him kneeling down with a sparkling diamond ring in hand.
Love is the determination,
when I say "yes" in front of God in my snow-white dreamy wedding dress.




Love is the blushes
on my bashful face when his balmy soft lips touch mine.
Love is the content
of watching him frying an omelet for me for the first time in his life.
Love is the joy
at our picnic in Stanley Park on a bright Sunday afternoon.
Love is the support
when I am old and wrinkled and doddering with a crutch.
Love is the agony
to see his black-and-white photo hanging on a frigid gravestone.

    After reading several poems, I'd say yours is pretty similar and yet different from one of them. I like how you start every sentence with "Love is the" but then it's repetitive which isn't bad but there could be variations. So that it changes the feeling of your poem, but overall it's all good! :)

    I love last sentence!!! It is so sad. Your poem has a warm feeling from the beginning, but the last sentence was so powerful. Your descriptions are really good and effective. Such a great poem!

    wow..it's so touching.That's like the typical love story with the romantic process. Even though the ending is quite sad but that cannot end the love.

    I love the brisk transition from the beginning of your love life to the end. I also enjoyed your use of descriptive vocabulary. Well done :)

    "Love is the uneasiness
    in the days that creep by like years, anxiously waiting for his answer."

    The impatience is described very creatively.

    I love your poem~
    It's a very romantic and comforting love story that two people can spend their lives without conflict. I believe that this is the kind of love that every girl desires and hopes to find.

    The beginning is so cute! I liked how you made your poem into stages and your strong concluding sentence.

    I really like your poem. You used lots of attractive simile to express what is love. In addition, the second picture is really beautiful.
