As I told you yesterday, the prompt for today's poem is to write a poem describing something by what it is not. Here is my contribution for today:
I met a man
The other day.
He was not selfish
Nor unkind.
He didn't have
A mean word to say.
The man
I met was
Not judgemental,
Nor did he think
Himself better
Than his fellow man.
He was not quarrelsome
Nor did he lose patience.
Intrigued by this man I met,
I asked his name.
He looked at me,
With question in his eyes
And replied,
"Did you not know?
My name is Love."
