"What is Love?" by Justyce Solomon

From May 23-June 2 Poet's Watch is featuring student poets from my creative writing class.

Our featured student poet today is Justyce Solomon. Her free verse poem "What is Love?" takes an abstract idea and brings it to life using sensory details. I enjoy the parallel structure of the lines and the subtle slant rhymes that are practically unnoticeable but give the piece a little more rhythm.

What is Love?
by Justyce Solomon

Love is…..
The redness of my cheeks when I see you
The butterflies that I feel in my stomach
The sweatiness of my palm after your touch
The twistedness of my tongue after you speak to me
The gaze of my eyes into yours when our eyes meet





Read, listen, share, create, and be on watch.
