Love Is

Love is almost evil spelled backwards.
It almost spells “Olive” too, minus the “I”,
Because there’s no “I” in love.
It can be rearranged to spell “Vole”,
Which a small furry thing that seems cute at first but is considered a nuisance by most.
If you say it really fast it sounds like you’re pouring out a big jug with a small top,
And the water is trying to get out so fast it keeps getting in its own way.
And if you say it slow it just sounds like someone yawning on their way up the stairs.
It has four letters, like every other word you get in trouble just for thinking about.
But most importantly it almost spells “Alive”.

An attempt to write an honest love poem that wasn't sappy.
