Hello AP and welcome to whatever contest number this is for me
I've been thinking a lot lately about love and so, this contest is a contest based on some love quotes, scriptures, and songs
What I would like for you to do is choose a quote, a scripture or a song and write a poem expressing your thoughts on love....very simple. This will be a quickie contest; will close tomorrow noon, EST or when there are 20 entries. No line limit. *If you reserve a spot, please come back and write for this
*
Just have fun in whatever you write and be as expressive as you wish
Rules:
No chat speak or street lingo
No use of the "f" word
No bashing anyone or their poetry
Enjoy yourselves
***UPDATE***
Have now opened this to prewrites
Please, again, if you reserve a spot, come back and pen for this

"This heart, it beats, beats for only you
My heart is yours"-author unknown

1 John 4:18-"There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear: because fear has torment. He that fears is not made perfect in love."
1 Cor. 13:4-7
4Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
Proverbs 30:18-19
There are three things that amaze me—
no, four things that I don’t understand:
how an eagle glides through the sky,
how a snake slithers on a rock,
how a ship navigates the ocean,
how a man loves a woman. (NLT)
John 15:13
Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends.

Evergreen
Eyes
Like a sunrise
Like a rainfall
Down my soul
And I wonder
I wonder why you look at me like that
What you’re thinking
What’s behind
Don’t tell me
But it feels like love
I’m gonna take this moment
And make it last forever
I’m gonna give my heart away
And pray we’ll stay together
Cause you’re the one good reason
You’re the only girl that I need
Cause you’re more beautiful than I have ever seen
I’m gonna take this night
And make it evergreen
Touch
Like a angel
Like velvet to my skin
And I wonder
Wonder why you wanna stay the night
What you’re dreaming
What’s behind
Don’t tell me
But it feels like love
I’m gonna take this moment
And make it last forever
I’m gonna give my heart away
And pray we’ll stay together
Cause you’re the one good reason
You’re the only girl that I need
Cause you’re more beautiful than I have ever seen
I’m gonna take this night
And make it evergreen
(don’t tell me
But it feels like love)
I’m gonna take this moment
And make it last forever
I’m gonna give my heart away
And pray we’ll stay together
Cause you’re the one good reason
You’re the only girl that I need
Cause you’re more beautiful than I have ever seen
I’m gonna take this night
