Writers love to Write, right?

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!)
