Love: Both Ends of the Spectrum

Two options!

Option 1. Love. Your typical love poem (please don't be way to cliche!) or poem about being in love or whatever. I think you get it. Its about love.

Option 2. Lost love. Love gone wrong, any form of wrong. This can be death, abuse, break up/divorce, pretty much whatever floats your boat.

You can use the picture for inspiration, or not. Your choice. It fit this contest so i put it up.

NO PREWRITTEN POEMS. I know there are alot of these and most of who ever joins this contest is going to have one already, well, too bad, i want new!

>>>>>>>Post as many as you want!!


****
Drawing: "Fyrir þú minn ást"
No need to credit the picture, I drew it. =)
(well, if you actually put the drawing into your poem content, than it would be nice to be credited, but I ain't gonna hunt you down if you don't =P)

****

And now everybody's favorite part of the contest description...
...the rules.

* no line limits. I love short poems, I love long poems!
* nO stICkY cApS
* no chat slang
* erotica is ok, just dont go overboard (nothing porn-worthy)
LABEL CORRECTLY
* no excessive profanity
* So i know you actually read this add 1312 to your Author's Note
* SPELLCHECK!!!!! Please and thank you =)

I can (though it will probably never come to it) disqualify you if need be. Deal with it!


NOW GET WRITING! =)
