LOVE

A tired week just passed, but I had a wonderful poetry class on Friday because my poetry teacher Mrs. Lewis told us about her love story.

I've been curious about Mr. and Mrs. Lewis' love story since I was a sophomore (2 years ago). They are the only faculty couple who would hold hands and walk at campus just like they are students dating in college. I would like to see my parents do that but I know they won't. I made a decision right after the class that I would find some poems match with their love strory!!!


Two parts of Mrs. Lewis' love story are very impressive. First, Mr. Lewis fell in love with Mrs. Lewis when he saw her for the first time and their love last for almost 20 years. Sencond, as I mentioned before, they love to hold each other's hand. Here I recommend two poems from a website called "100 best love poems."

Love at First Sight
Virgo
Is there such a thing as love at first sight?
That's the question I used to ask
Until I laid eyes on you.
How is it possible to feel so much for a stranger, a passerby?
Love has no limits, no color, no time.
That's when I realized I had fallen in love-
Love at the first sight.





Hand In Hand
ShoeBowl
Nothing could be more right,
There's nowhere else I want to be.
Let's talk a walk my only love,
Hand in hand, you and me.

(Read the whole poem)


"Love at first sight" is a free style poem. Virgo uses two questions and two answers to express his understanding of love at first sight. "Love has no limists, no color, no time" is my favourite sentece in this poem. "Hand in Hand" is one of my favourite poem from all the love poems I read. We can find rhythms at the end of the 2nd and 4th sentence of each paragraph. ( check out another poem called "The Sweet Taste of Love") The poem builds a warm and sweet atmosphere for the readers successfully.





It seems like love poems can be written in different forms and they are all great, some are sweet, some are painful, but they all attract me by their emotions. I cannot wait to read more poems about love!!!

Well, back to the begining of this post, all I want to say is, I want to marry someone who can hold my hand forever and be a lucky wife just like my poetry teacher. :)

  1. I love this post Maxi. I think it is so nice how you can take a story from us getting sidetracked in class and connect it to other poetry. You give such cute little pictures and I love how you give so many different examples of love poetry.
