Mr. Love & Mrs. Hate

A little poem about Mr. Love & Mrs. Hate....

In every soul, 

There is a couple, 

Always walking hand in hand.

They met at the beginning of time,

And were inseparable,

In a hecto second.

They are called by many names:

Yin and Yang,

Black n' white,

Night and day,

Et cetera.

There is Mr. Love:

He is Compassionate, caring, and sweet.

If pure,

He is so strong,

That you would rather die,

Than living in the absent,

Of the one he is cast on. 

Along with Mr. Love,

Comes his infuriating bride,

Sweeping you away with just her name.

She goes by the name, 

Mrs. Hate:

She is the anger so strong,

Lingering inside you.

She can control you,

Just as much as her mate.

Maybe even more.

But one thing is certain,

One thing you can't be denied:

They are never far from each other.

The one cannot be without the other.

I love that as a woman you aren't putting the male in the hate lead here. It shows that you understand men and women are as bad as each other which I can only compliment you on. And at the end of the poem you are quite right that love and hate are never far apart. A good read, thanks for sharing.

You seem to dwell quite a lot on love and hate, whether it be in direct comparison or the reflection that can be cast between them. Love is usually depicted by a woman, and hate by a man, the fact that you used each as opposites, in representation, shows that they can come in all different types of beings. To showcase this as a poem seems mildly incorrect though, this piece is more like an implied rant. The color change between talking about Mr. Love and Mrs. Hate guides the reader into what they are expecting to see, which is a good form of foreshadowing. The simple comparisons you used to start off this poem are light enough for anyone to understand, which makes it more friendly to the reader, and open to any age being able to understand difference. I like this poem, though I do feel it is more of a rant, and feel that further constructive criticism is not needed. Nothing is missing from this piece, and that's what makes it good. Congrats.
