The idea is simple: Write a poem about love. Any type of love.
True Love
Lost Love
Love-Hate
Love of Self
Loving a partner, friend, sibling, parent, child, pet
It can be as long as you want, but impress me. I don't want one liners and I don't want filler to make a piece seem long. I want depth, emotion, passion, tears, laughter.
Profanity is fine. To an extent. Don't over indulge it can kill your poem.
Sex is fine too. Tasteful please (this time around, haha).
If I get a lot of good writes I'll extend the number of entries and points.
