* Make Love Not War

—

, ,

Thanks to Robert, Brad and Lorrie for the lovely love inspired inspiration 🙂

This post is in response to a challenge from my friend Robert Jepson.  The game is to write a poem about love, in ten lines or sentences, of 4 words each, and each line must include the word ‘love’. Then include a favourite quote about love.

peace heart

Love, is you and me
Love, is our being

Let all encompassing love
surround us with love,
deepen our inner love.

Allow us to love
and pass love on.

So feel the love.
Live your love fully.
Embrace the love within.

Let love fill you
so love becomes infinite.

Make love not war.

“Make love not war” by John Lennon

I won’t be continuing the game by challenging others, but if any of you readers would like to explore for yourself and share, or take up the challenge then please go ahead.

I would love to read more ❤️

    A lovely poem Val, I’m glad you took up the challenge. I think the more we write or speak of love, the more we help to spread it 🙂
