love is, no like, it's a statement of intent, no scintillating simile or magnificent metaphor.
love is the cornerstone of civilisation and is or should be
what drives us, overtakes us and moulds us
Love is, insert scintillating simile and magnificent metaphor
burning sensation inside you, a challenge and reward

Haha… loving that title and line! It’s exactly how it is.. all of us sitting… hoping for that metaphor to hit… one that none of us have read before…. Trying to clear away the noise of all the ones that someone else wrote! Nice job, Paul 🙏🏻✨📝
How true you write and speak.
You've gone in so many clever, witty, and original directions for this "third act" and I'm loving it! Very Paul and very good!
Nice work.
Scintillating is a very under-used word - why? It is such a great word! Love makes the world go round. Absolutely.
Creative take on a popular topic/theme… I especially liked/loved: “ love is the cornerstone of civilisation and is or should be”✅💛
Wow this is amazing
Such a commentary on the ubiquitous banality of our typical treatments of the topic, attended so perfectly by its inexpressible necessity.
Hahahahahahahahhahaha this was so clever!
Can’t believe this is 50 words! Perfect!!
You are very naughty boy! Hahahah. I had to read this a few times to get on to your mischievous wavelength! 😁 Love as intent though is a moving and true line.
You always surprise, Paul. But I honestly cannot tell if you have tongue firmly in cheek for this one, or are being wildly experimental, or are simply cynical and exhausted by the Valentine's Day hype. Feel free to let me know the story behind this or not, if you're feeling mysterious. You know me. Always trying to scratch away the surface to see what is hiding underneath it all.
ROFL, I do love this so much. I see a winner here, and if Vocal doesn't see it, they're discriminating against perfect poetry. Bravo on creating the epitome on Love Poetry in 50 Words. A feat many have been attempting to achieve, without your success. Now to post this comment before Vocal crashes again
