Analysis of Three Words



For we poets the words are always I love You
But what if they were not

If the words were different would we be blue?

God is great
Read my lips
Strength in numbers
Sing with me
Haikus are cool

We write to the imagination of all
To some our words are extremely tall
The majesty of words are often leave lifes clues
But alas, the three words will always be I love you
