What is love?

Is it a wall

Or a pit

Or a poked wound

That grows between lovers?

I’ve been reading too much poetry

Perhaps it’s much simpler

Then I think and I can’t see

Maybe there’s some feelings

Between lovers that I can’t feel

Maybe there’s a meaning

For lovers feel ill

Love is an Illness

It makes us go crazy

It makes us fear loneliness

It makes go dizzy.

This poem is a result of a academic work from the English Literature class, so the beginning "Is it a wall Or a pit Or a poked wound That grows between
lovers? I’ve been reading
too much poetry Perhaps it’s much
simpler" belongs to "WATER AND CHEMICALS" by DOROTHY PORTER. We had to write a poem using the first part of Dorothy Porter's poem.
