Love isn't just a four letter word.
Add "d" and it becomes a verb.
Add "es" to see present tense,
As in "Rebecca loves Vince."
But it's a shame that Vince loves only Kurt.

I think the endings perfect it leaves you hanging like, "What does that mean?" or "why did he say that." its so unique. like he just let you fall on all the things he could've said at the end. Nice work.

"Dear God," she prayed, "let me be something every minute of every hour of my life. Let me be gay; let me be sad. Let me be cold; let me be warm. Let me be hungry...have too much to eat. Let me be ragged or well dressed. Let me be sincere - be deceitful. Let me be truthful; let me be a liar. Let me be honorable and let me sin. Only let me be something every blessed minute. And when I sleep, let me dream all the time so that not one little piece of living is ever lost." - Betty Smith (A Tree Grows in Brooklyn)

This is so creative! The second line is a little confusing because of the "es"- to makes "loves" you only need an "s". I really liked the poem, though!

The beginning is good, but I agree with ToriLovett, the ending doesn't really flow. Good job though (:

The beginning is nice... The ending doesn't flow that well. Other than that, great(:

Thank you! Well the reason for the length is because it's a traditional limerick..
