Writer's notes: Love is associated with the heart, mind, and soul. Thinking of a comforting love alphabet soup, my ABC poem is a simple form of this type of acrostic. The poem is also known as an abecedarium poem. Simply, the first letter of every verse follows the alphabetic order.
The Prompt
Write a love poem using only words with four letters or less.
Embrace the beauty of brevity to create a heartfelt love poem using only words with four letters or less. This constraint encourages you to find creative ways to express the complexities of love with the seemingly simplest vocabulary. All forms of poetry are welcome.
In order for your submission to qualify, it must be:
A love poem that uses only words that are four (4) letters or less.
