Making Love...with nothing but the touching...

• Write a love poem. Romantic or more general types of love. Or…
• Write an anti-love poem. Some folks just don’t like love poems of any type, so have at it.

At the kitchen table

Scattered with newspaper

And homework

Or breakfast remains

Where the sun pools

Gold in summer

Or daylight falls

Gray in November

Across the chatter

Of little ones

Above life’s spilled milk

Between ‘don’t talk with your mouth full’

And ‘stay sitting until you are finished’

We have made love

With nothing

But the touching

Of eyes
