Sometimes love is rationed, and other times squandered.

Some folks


portion their affection


in teaspoonsful


lest it make fat


or spoiled


the recipient.


Others


dump love


by the bucket, never mindful of


splashing over.


"How can too much


be a waste?


There's more where that


came from."


And it flows like


an inexaustible river,


you can splash in it


and it


just keeps coming.

Bess,

This seems to me like a good start to an excellent poem. It left me expecting more. Like a poem not yet ripe. There is just so much to be explored and imagery invoked in the myriad ways we each deal out our love.

Personally I'd like to see you develop this one much further. Knead it in you mind. Roll it around. Prod it and poke it and let time and the warmth of your imagination make it rise and give it substance.

Regards

Don L.
