What is love?
Does anyone know?
Is there just one answer?
Or do they all just grow?
Grow and grow,
until everyone has their own.
Love is a word
That cannot be defined
Love is a verb
That modifies divine
Love is the greatest thing in all the world
Yet, love
can be the saddest thing that ever roamed the Earth.
It can bring sadness and joy
All at the same time.
It can make the heart beat faster
Or want to stop alltogether
Love is the most powerful thing
That anyone can ever feel
It's not a word to be thrown around
On a spinning wheel.
It's something that does not have barriers
It takes over our bodies and minds
It's something people can live for
Or make them want to die
For every time we say "I love you"
Are we speaking wtih a dear friend?
It seems we only want to say it,
If we're nearing the end.
Love is a word,
Love is a verb,
Love makes the wolves howl in sadness
and the birds want to sing.
Love is not like anything.
It cannot be compared.
Anyone can feel it for anything.
But when it dies, cannot be repaired.
Love is a word that cannot be defined.
Love is a world that will forever,
Remain in my mind.

Love is a world that will forever,
Remain in my mind.
That by far was my favorite part. Concentrate on developing your style.

Love it
we all ask the question to what is love and we can come up with only what we think is a false thought, but love has no correct definition, love is something different to every single person and this world and to some it doesnt exist- I invite you to join a group for my favorite AP women writers called Lonely Daughters -
i think this is one of your best writes, the contradiction and contrasting of the two opposing sides of love is done flowingly and nicely done. good job
-
Great Write though I agree with All washed up need some stanzas but overall it was a good job of a write and 15 minutes much love Raneika
-
the subject if a very universal subject but i agree you need stanzas. i like long poems but you tried to make this a rhyming poem and then you kinda dropped off and then picked it back up. it made me want to stop reading cause I lost the groove that you were in. when i was reading it i saw a misspelled word but when i was rereading it i couldn't find it.. look again. keep up the work.

great
Great poem, you really captured the true essence of love.

Here here! You said everything that it is and were dead on each time. Way to go. Not bad for fifteen minutes.
-
It's really pretty and it shows, without a doubt, your opinion on love and how it's meant to be. But, for me, it was a little long. No offense. It was very beautiful tho!!
-
PERFECT just the way it is, not too long at all, repeating itself perfectly YAY gj i loved it
-

AWESOME!!!! You are great! Great subject, very nice. Was a bit repetitive though.
~hell~ -
STANZAS! long poems should ALWAYS have stanzas, or else they get boring to read. this is a good subject, and you have some good ideas about it. try taking out the parts that you like the least. i love how you started it, it made me feel like you were talking instead of writing a poem. that's good, 'cause it means it didn't sound forced, as beginnings like that often do. great job, and thanks for sharing! <3becca

ummm. I dunno about this. Way too long about the same thing. Seems very forced to me.
I liked the "Love makes the wolves howl in sadness"
But other than that... You appear to be writing two sets of ideas. you seem to be very sure about what love is and yet. your asking questions?
confusing..
Anyway... I'll read your other work.. -
awesome perfect ten..you're absolutely right
-
WOW GIRL YOU HAVE A GREAT GIFT. GREAT LOVED IT. AND MY BF SAYS HE LOVES ME HA. WELL TAHNK YOU KEEP IT UP
-
I really really liked this. It's true love can't be defined and you didn't try to do that you just simply told the truth. Anyway, it was really unique and sweet. Keep it up.
