The Look of Love:

Watch, Listen, Look

Inside

 

 

 

Then write ........... ...... but please, please



 

I don't want mush

this has to be real

love with it's less glamourous side

love with the pain

breathless love

bruised love - not violent bruising, but the ache of it all

 

 




 

 

 

 

 

Rules:

 

left align

- that's it!!!

 

if you rhyme, make it bloody marvelous or may have to resort to shoving you

down my cellar steps!!!

    My mom had me listening to Burt Bacharach before I was ten, the song "Anyone Who Had A Heart" sung by Dione Warwick still gets me everytime..

    Is that like heavenly bodies orbiting each other or something? Gravitational pull? Chemical attractions?

    is there such a thing as love without bruises?

    only crazy people would think so, or maybe we're the crazy ones...

    I loved this contest for so many reasons, Gill. Thank you for hosting such a tender, ethereal, revealing contest, my Friend. Great choices for the shiny chalices, too, Sweetie. I didn't envy your task in judging, for sure. I still think AP oughta come up with a platinum trophy for some of y'all. Gold just ain't good enough. Congratulations, one & all. Be well, Poets & Scribes. Wanda
