Another Take on Love Poetry
to have and to hold
from this day forward,
for better, for worse,
for richer, for poorer,
in sickness and in health,
to love and to cherish,
till death us do part
Most have either spoken those words or heard them from a wedding they've been to or seen on TV. And most are currently in or have been in a marital or committed relationship.
But this is not the whole reason I picked that bit above. It's to highlight that love can run the spectrum: it can be bad and it can be good; you can be in the money or hurting for change; and that whole sick/health thing.
So, what do you tend to write about when it comes to love? The better, richer, health and cherish or the worse, poorer, or sickness part?
My challenge to you this month is to pick another take on love than you usually do when you write love poetry. Get out of your comfort zone. Write what you know, but explore another side of it. Dig deep.
To help you with this, I share with you the Aquarian form. It reminded me of the dating ice breaker of asking a person what their sign is.--because love is in the air this month (and hopefully every month in some form or another)!
I look forward to seeing some of your love poetry.
