what is love?


Lve is taking a taxi
It’s not taking a bus,
Where you can just wait,
And the bus comes
You will have to wave your hand, or even call
Then it will stop for you

It’s not driving your own car,
Where you can just hop on and go wherever you want
You will have to wait,
For the right car

If you run into an empty cab
You are lucky
But usually,
Taxis that come and pass,
Are already full of people

It’s not taking the sky train,
Where from the farthest to nearest
You can pay the same price
The price goes higher and higher,
As you go farther and farther

And eventually,
You reach your destination,
You’ve paid all your money,
And you left
With yourself all empty

  1. This really gets to my heart. And the last line was where I went "this is so touching".
    And totally agree with the line"the price goes higher and higher, as you go farther and farther." There are so much more things we have to think about after getting a certain "distance" in love.
    I love this poem.

  2. This poem is so cute. I love how you paid attention to little details such as beginning and ending each line with a heart. I enjoyed your analogies with going places because it's something everyone can relate to. I liked the styl of this piece and they way you contrasted everything.
    Nice work~

  5. I like the first sentence.
    Love is taking a taxi.
    And in the last paragraph, you eventually reach your destination.
    That is so great and beautiful.

  7. I really like the comparison of love and taxi, especially the last stanza that ends with "and you left with yourself all empty". It left me gazing. Very well done. :)

  9. You used small heart instead of "o"! That's so cute. I love the part you compare own car and taxi, which is vivid and impressive. You begin with heart as well. How sweat it is!

  10. I love the hearts at the beginning and the end of each line! So romantic! I love your unique comparison, and I agree that we "pay the price", and get ourselves "empty", because the ones that love the most, are usually hurt the deepest. Well done!

  11. The hearts are a nice touch while not confusing but instead bringing out your point in a very romantic fashion. I like how you describe love as something that one can touch and expend, which is modern ($)
