Brevity is the Soul of Wit - Round Five (Invite Only)

This round is open to the following poets.


Artis
Laura Lamarca
Lost Rainbow Char
Pearl-Dragon
RatherImaginative


In honor of Valentine’s Day I would like you to write a poem about love.

It can be addressed to anyone (or anything) and cover any type of love: romantic, platonic or familial.


Even if you do not have a special someone in your life at this time, I’m sure you have a parent, child, friend, pet, or fellow poet that you love.


To keep this from descending into cliché the following words may not be used in this verse:


Adore
Cupid
Darling
Dear
Heart
Kiss
Love
Romance
Soul


Please limit your poem to 100 words.

Free verse or rhyme -- your choice.


Treat each other and all other poets on this site with respect.

Plain backgrounds look professional.

Use imagery, not images with your poem.

As this is a rounds contest, I want to know who you are: please put your USERNAME in author notes. If your name has changed since the last round please put both your old and new names to avoid confusion.

Good luck and have fun.
