Ai (Love) (Kanji Poetry)

                                  Weird
                            View
                    Of its
          Meaning
  That          Small      Wish
      With      A big      Feel
As complex as it's meaning is, a word
Joy                                                Pain
Loss                  Or                      Hope
        Mixed        Beat  Of  Heart
  Twisted                  Feeling
                                    Heart sense
          Does                        It hurt you?
        High
    Or low, as you like it
Soul  Mind        Heart
          A slow  approach
                  Meeting
          Complete  harmony
        And back    To their place
      Sharing                        Passion
  Existence                            Is Vain 
Without                                          Love

    Oh good job. That looks pretty close to the character for "love".

    Awesome

    You got me on this poem, it is so neat the way it is written to form the Kanji symbol for its title. I'm going to have to try that out

    Very well written and well explained

    Gave the meaning of love very well and I thoroughly enjoyed reading it

    Shape poetry paints in letters of words to create a distinctive impressive visual and poetic experience for the reader. Kanji takes me to zen thinking again your poem supports this leaving the lingering shape and the last word...'love' Nicely constructed. Good luck.

    Interesting!

    This is a finely crafted work of art from a couple different mediums! The form makes it a bit difficult to read. Thanks for entering!

    Pretty to look at. Enjoyable to read, although difficult to follow in some places because of the format. But I understand the format was in integral part of this piece. Thank you for sharing.
