Prompt Ten – Text Prompt

The first three words of your title should be “what is love”. That can be your whole title, in and of itself, probably followed by a question mark, or you can add more context onto the title before proceeding to the poem itself.

 

What is Love without Regret

 

Oh, to walk with you again

Walk along as you talk along

Non-stop chatter, pitter-patter

Small sticky paw in mine

Compact perfect body, so fine

Walk along as you skip along

Hop, dance, jump, run, actually

Never just walk. And non-stop talk.

 

Oh, to buy you that dress

That shiny, spangly, jingly jangly one

I said no, it was too tacky

You nodded, agreed, yucky!

But your eyes were sad, I was a bad

Mother.

I could have bought it.

I should have bought it.

 

Oh, to have you look at me like that again.

As if I were your hero.

There was none other

Better than your mother.

But you know better now,

And I know you don’t forget

All the above

What is Love – without regret.
