If there's any love in the world let it be mine;
Not that I'm jealous or selfish like Time,--
Others should have love too:--
But is it not meet I should ask my heart's due?
For what will happen if love ne'er comes my way?
My spirit will shrivel up, then I'll be forced to say,
"Love, you're a humbug, there's no need for you:
What's a dead foot need with a brand new shoe?"
Please tell me what you think

Enjoyable fun read
Very clever. Lyrical poetry.

Good!
I really like this... and it kind of makes me think... I've had my heart broken, and I should be glad I ever experienced love. This shows me how lucky I am to just be able to experience it. You'll find it one day. Girls love us poets

I really liked this! It was short and sweet, and I thought the last line was brilliant! LOL Not experiencing love has a way of making you feel left out, doesn't it? Have a great day!

Little surprised to see you in the spotlight. I'm pretty sure I've read this one before.
Hey, I made a contest...you should enter. -
The last two lines are my favroite out of the poem. I like how you compare love to a foot with out a shoe. I also like that your poem rhymes, its just enough and not too much. You did a great job.
-
Poetry that rhymes you did a great job. Your message and feelings expressed with well chosen words, Very good.
-
Poignant message in the last 2 lines.
The poem is sad, affectring the heart when reading that one should have to ask where their share of love is.
Beautifully crafted Greg.
