On Love

I have nothing to say except that its on love

Whoever said that love wasn't easy

Is absolutely right

The only way to make it work

Is to try harder on it.

If we leave love alone

It will wither away.

Love is like a houseplant.

If you don't water it

It will starve, droop, and crumble

And eventually die,

Nobody wants this to happen

But always it seems it does.

Congratulations to those who make it

Pity to those who do not.

I don't know how to fix this any better. Please give me suggestions

Your convey such a depth of truth for us all on love and what we must do to care and nurture it. A lesson well learned. Your metaphor of the plant is absolutely perfect and vividly teaches so tenderly. Thank you for sharing your poem!

This is great! :) Love the topic and i love how you executed it,
i agree, love is something you must work on, and without it you'll suffer.
nicely done.
however id work on the flow a little bit, it sounds just a tad choppy, but im sure you can make it great.
try using more powerful words, you've got "wither" twice, perhaps a replacement for one of the two, like fade, shrivel, etc
still, a very nice poem, really touched me ;)
thanks for sharing!

topics is done a lot so very hard to stand out. The vocabulary is a bit limited. The flow is alright, but again it does not really stand out because of the topic.

I have used your words many times,
attempting to advise people in love.
You have written a wise and graphic
poem.. I hope it helps someone who
has neglected the growing thing they
cherish-----Love.

That was cool. It was kind of like a lesson in love. While I was reading it I was thinking "This is what tough love is about"
