Love: this four-letter word
Holds power in its grasp
that can move mountains, raise floods
Inspire you to greatness
Drive you to madness
But
What does this four-letter word mean to me?
I have had a difficult relationship with love and through these 26 poems, I hope to explore the different facets of it so I may understand it better.
Though I have had someone or something in mind while writing the poems, they are all written in first person to have a more universal appeal. Some poems are fiction stories written in poetry format and some are just silly strings of words because they made me laugh.
It will be quite an achievement for me to write not 1, not 2 but 26 whole poems. As someone who cannot rhyme to save herself, despite all my efforts, they still have a musical quality to them. Or so I think.
It has been an interesting journey of self-discovery as I continue to write these. Hopefully some of them will resonate with you as well. I’ll see you in April!
A to Z is a daily blogging challenge scheduled for the month of April and this is my fourth time participating. My previous attempts were:
- AtoZ 2017: The stories we love best live in us forever
- AtoZ 2018: The Adventures of Radha
- AtoZ 2019: 26 Myths and Legends
I absolutely adore this challenge and work extra hard to ensure I participate properly, which is why I usually start preparing from January! Adios for now.
