Love
I want to know what love is. If music be the food of love, play on. What is love?

Foreigner, Shakespeare, Haddaway.
To them, you are elusive, cloaked.
But you're all around, aren't you?
What do singers and poets know?
I think you like to hide
But you're never concealed.
Give us a wink,
A sexy smirk.
There you are!
Right here in the person
Who holds my love.

I've Just Realized
The President doesn't understand music. There. It felt very good to write that; it's some thing I just realized today. Oh , yes; he plays it. He TRUMPets it in rallies and meetings, pumps it across the airwaves when he gathers up our minutes waiting for his late arrival.

I think I danced through it instead of read through it. Nicely done!!
Nice one! And I love that Journey song🎶❤️ well done.
Cheeky, clever, and stirring! This is such a fun one!
Love is all around and not as complicated as some would have us believe! Brilliant response to the challenge 🩷
Very cleverly cute. I love Foreigner’s song “I want to know what love is”.💖
Very nicely done. I love how this starts general then ends so personal.
A human pocket. They're the person who holds our love. Don't ask me why that was the first thing that came to mind when I read your last two lines 😅😅 Loved your poem!
Very cleverly done, Rachel and with a touch of subtle humor, like spice on the top of a cake. 👏👏👏👏👏
Dang! I think I sang this rather than reading it! Love this!
This feels like a smooth dance of words! Love being elusive yet always present, and a cheeky wink to the one who holds it. There's something magical about the way you bring it all together, playful and real.✨
Them playing a cute little hide and seek but actually being there and always being there is the cutest thing 💖 What do singers and poets know?" such a sweet expression 🥰
I knew this was going to be fantastic, as soon as I read the title, and sang the songs in my head ;) Wonderful. A big fan of love here. Lovely, playful writing x
You are on a tear with this challenge! Made to order for Rachel!
Aww. How clever.

This is wonderfully clever and playful, with a touch of mystery and charm! The way you weave intrigue with a dash of humor is delightful. Short, sweet, and impactful!
Gorgeous work!
This is such a clever take on love—like it’s playing hide-and-seek but always right there when it matters. The last line hits perfectly—so sweet and real!👌🏽
This is a lovely light way to show your appreciation of your love. Nice work!
