Warning

Due to the nature of this week’s prompt we will understand it if you just want to sit this one out.
Should you choose to read more please be aware you will be entering a gag zone.
This is an abuse of station in some way I know and it just may want to make some folks gag but this week’s Thursday Think Tank is all about love. It’s hard to believe but we have never actually used this as a prompt before. Oh we skirted the topic once or twice but we have never outright said write about love. Well we have now.
All you need is love? What good is love? Is there really love? Does love hurt? What is love to you? Find inspiration in love, no matter happy, dark, unreturned or just plain fake write about it and share it here.
Oh yeah heres a bit more for you to gag on lol our First dance song!!
If you have a prompt idea (even a Music or Film inspired one) that you would like to suggest or share with us please send it to poetsunited@ymail.com . We keep a folder set aside with all your suggestions and just might use it one day.
There 3 simple rules:
1. Don’t link to more than 3 poems per week.

3. Leave a comment after you have posted your link.

Love never gets old....I posted a piece I wrote in January....xoxo

ReplyDeleteI have never heard "Marry Me" before. It's incredible so I'm sharing it with my husband of 40 years tonight. :)
Here's one that anybody can relate to... Anybody who's single anyway.

Can there be a more inspiring topic? - My heartfelt congratulations to you both!
ReplyDeletePerhaps the reason this topic hasn't been used is because it is so big and encompasses so many things :)
ReplyDeleteBest wishes to you both!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your special song...I see why you chose it. Here's to all the love your hearts can stand!
I'm back again with something new. Not love, but lover, which I figure is close enough. :) Here's my Fit To Be Tied limerick and limerick-off prompt.
ReplyDeleteI've submitted 3 poems!!! Different angles, different situations of love!!!
ReplyDeleteHope you'd enjoy it!!!
