A Love Poem Should Be Spent


When you write a love poem
on the palm of your hand,
the kind that's meant to stick,

and blow it away
like a kiss,

if it returns
on wings, crispy-black,
falls like St. Helens' ash,

that's when you'll know
it worked.

    I love the idea of giving it away Jennifer ~ Multiply it, spend it and watch it come back ten times stronger ~

    Have a lovely week ~

    Beautiful ... setting love free, putting it to work in the world. A lovely little piece, Jennifer.

    This is just wonderful ... this is exactly how love should be spread... on sooty wings...

    It Burnt itself out, working so hard, getting the job done. Enjoyed this twist.
