What do I love?
I love to writ-
Wait. That was five . . .
.
Ok, that . . . it’s ok,
I’ll try agai-
Nope. Five.
.
. . .
.
Fine. This is good.
Test my mind.
Push my skill.
.
Good.
.
So.
I love to . . . put word- no.
Put a word and a word and a word
On a page.
I have a poem, a book, an idea
To tell.
So to do that, I will writ-
.
. . .
.
. . .
They say love and hate go
Hand in hand.
We all know it too well, don’t we?
.
No more word for me. I go make tea.

(Hello readers! This poem was written for the Vocal “Short and Sweet” Challenge, which asked for love poems consisting of words with four letters or fewer. It was . . . hard 😂. See my poem “Ink and Pixels” for a submission that takes itself more seriously. Thanks for reading!)
