I won't write about love
I've got Philophobia!!!!!
If I ever go do such a dumb act
As to go fall in love with any old chap
Or may it even be a gal
Give me a good kick in the rear
Oh Yuck!
Ptui, ptui, ptui
I have read so many a "Love Poem"
Writ here and writ all over
'Bout dis and 'bout dat type of love
Make me want to puke and gag
Who does need that love gig any how
I won't yak on 'bout love
I won't writ 'bout dat love
You see I've got a huge Love FBia!
It is such a very big Fbia
The name won't even fit in here!
Love. Ptui, ptui, ptui.

Do you understand haiku?
Do you ever get sidetracked when writing? I do. I think it must be in the nature of the creative mind to draw connections and have a need to explore them. Since the World Wide Web became established in the 1990s, this has become a lot easier to do. The phenomenon being described as ‘going down a wormhole.’ Sometimes a distraction, but I have written some of my best work when I have disappeared down one web wormhole or another. It also happened in the days when most of my research was book based so we can't blame it on the internet. Book research was just slower. These days, guided by my AI friend, it is much, much quicker.

Novel, I love this! It's witty, it's playful and funny most of all! I enjoyed everything from your playful language choices to the unique narrative and everything in between! I've had this on my reading list for a little while and have been itching to get to it and I am so happy I finally had a chance to stop by! Great work, my friend! So clever! 💜
This is another very clever one. Loved your use of language on this one and abbreviating philophobia! I also couldn't help but notice you asking about who wrote the poem with all the f's - that would be me lol!
Loved it!!! Super nonlove!!!♥️♥️💕
Hahahahhahahahaha thank you for writing about love from my point of view! I loved this one so much!
P.S. Dear Friend, did I miss seeing, and thus replying, to a visit that prompted a reply? If yes, can you remember where? BTW, I enjoyed paying you a visit, too!$!
Oh 🫣do you have a strong love now, Novel? Hahaha, is it too big to fit in the given space or? 🫨
Novel, your non-love poem and philophobia have me laughing at 7:16 AM! Oh, and "Ptui" was a great touch. 😂 BTW, I saw that you caught up with me in another creator's stream. I chuckled about that, too. Now, I must stop enjoying myself and get to work on a boring personal project. Take care of yourself and that wonderfully creative mind! 💜
What a great take on the challenge. I was laughing from beginning to end. Excellent use of language.
Are they kissing sounds or disgusted sounds!? 🤣 And I can only assume philophobia is fear of love!..I shall look it up. Love can be icky and make one sicky, but love comes in many forms which can be tricky, look at ME, bustin’ a terrible rhyme! I will see myself out. 🥸
