The Thursday Think Tank - #42 Love


Warning

Upon entering this week’s prompt you may feel a bit of dizziness and nausea. Any side affects due to the gross cheesiness of this prompt cannot be used against Poets United or Robert Lloyd in any way.

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.

Again I am a bit early but that’s because my whole week is out of whack due to those 4 wonderful or terrible letters. Don’t worry I promise it all ends next week and we can return back to normalcy…I hope.

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.

2. Please visit some of the other poems linked here when you link to yours.

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

    Oooooh, looks like everyone loves the prompt! I posted a love song already written, because it says it best, the things I love. Some of you read it last summer......sorry for the repeat. I may come back later with something new, will give it a try.

    Robb - enjoy every moment of this happy time - and may the laughter and happiness continue for the rest of your lives together. I so love the photo! All our love to you and Amber. Remember, we want photos!!!!!

    ha! the verification word is "oupsy". Not kidding!

    Perhaps the reason this topic hasn't been used is because it is so big and encompasses so many things :)
