Welcome to day one of #Loveuary!

February is here, the month of love, and I wanted to celebrate this wonderful emotion, but attempting to post about love each and every day.

First of all, we need to define what love is…

“Love is not merely an emotion felt due to romance, there are so many loves out there. Family, friends, pets, favourite songs/movies/books, things to do/eat… You can feel love for anything. Each type of love touches your heart and life in a different way, filling you with warmth.” – Ritu Bhathal 2017

A verse I penned previously gives an indication of what love means to me.

love

Love is my life
Love is my hope
Love is my saviour
Love helps me cope
Love keeps me near
Love takes me far
Love can be blind
Love, a bright star
Love helps me see
Love is in me

Ronovan, you naughty boy! What a pair of words you have thrown among the Haikuists today!!! I tried very hard to steer away from the obvious… it was hard, but I think I managed!

Blow & Please

Pleasing sensations
Feeling the fresh spring breezes
Blowing through my hair

One way to please him
Be a chef in the kitchen
Don’t blow your chances

waiting

And here is my effort! A limerick trio!

There was a young knight called Ted
Who appeared to have lost his head
Though incomplete
He was always upbeat
Because he was very well bred!

He waited for love to come
But alas for Ted there was none
When it came to a kiss
No head meant a miss
And away the ladies would run!

He tried to keep out of sight
Didn’t want to give people a fright
So he stood in a corner
Like Little Jack Horner
Even though it was rather tight!
