I love you more than I’ve ever before, but now I’ve changed.
No more selfish heavy-handed one-way games.

Tumbling and fumbling its way to the sea

Are we allowed to enter more than one poem per contestant?
I've written many poems about THE FAB FOUR that have a lot of song titles and history in them and would love to share a few of them here if you so desire. GOOD LUCK with this MOP TOP contest
Peace & Love!
