Those lucky enough to find it
Will throw it away.
Those who cannot see it
Will scorn it.
And all the while
Someone out there
Will be wishing
For a chance at both.

incredible. this peice is an ode to the reality of what "love" is like for different people. it seems that too often people are so focused on thier persepctive that its like you cant see the other. so thank you for opening the persepective.

I'm biting on my nails and my earings don't match. "They do too" my inner conscience said.  Then, the big cheese spoke.  And she said, in her creepy, pointed cap, "you are obviously not listening to the wind (which is Mongolian), and have lost the meaning of your own words, which probably came from someone else (osmisisly speaking)."  Irish wristwatches are impossible.

I think the title does rather fine, for the body of a poem, or any piece for that matter, should fully express itself. How would you describe Shakesperian sonnets, which are given numbers... Title is less important than content.

O my gosh...I love this. I can SO relate. I don't have it, and I want it, but someone I knew had it from who I wanted it from, and they just THREW IT AWAY. I know why, but it was unfair......she knows it was to, and doesn't feel bad about it. I LOVED IT

It's great work, and I really like it. But I prefer longer poems. Plus, I can't see what the title has to do with the poem. No offense intended.

LOL obviously the title is what the poeme is about... "On Love", the poeme is 'on love' hahah.
