What is Love
March 8, 2011
Love is like a river
That flows to a sea
It’s there one minute and gone the next
It knows all but yet, it isn’t complex
Love is more than one feeling
Its anger
Its hate
Its joy and happiness
It’s also complete madness
Love is full of hatred
Telling you “You’re not good enough”
Its words hurt like hearing a child cry
It makes you wanna die
Love is more than smiles
Saying “I love you”
Is almost a lie
Love is an action
You can not show with words
Love is holding my hand as I cay
Love is drying my tears
While watching our child die
Love is surrounding me in your sweet embrace
When your touch is soft as lace
So, what is love?
Do you have an answer?
Love is pure
It can’t be described as an emotion...

good job! you basically summed up all of love in one poem. the only thing i didn't like was the 4th stanza, but i still liked it

I see that you are trying to evoke some strong emotions! I wasnt expecting one line in particular...gave me heart pangs. Beautiful in that sense. One thing I would change, if it wouldnt mess it up, is "hate" or "hatred." just because they're basically the same word, so it sounds repetitive. Maybe you could switch one out for something close to it
