'Love loves to love love.' <br /> -James Joyce <br /> <br />I believe in Love, <br />But the word 'love', <br />When it occurs in a poem <br /> <br />Is often a blanket <br />Thrown over the real <br />Interaction being described. <br /> <br />If I were dictator <br />I might decree <br />No love-poet could use <br />The word 'love'.<br /><br />Max Reif<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/proposal-to-outlaw-the-word-love-in-poems-a-mean-poem/
