Love
I want to know what love is. If music be the food of love, play on. What is love?

Foreigner, Shakespeare, Haddaway.
To them, you are elusive, cloaked.
But you're all around, aren't you?
What do singers and poets know?
I think you like to hide
But you're never concealed.
Give us a wink,
A sexy smirk.
There you are!
Right here in the person
Who holds my love.

I think I danced through it instead of read through it. Nicely done!!
Nice one! And I love that Journey song๐ถโค๏ธ well done.
Cheeky, clever, and stirring! This is such a fun one!
Love is all around and not as complicated as some would have us believe! Brilliant response to the challenge ๐ฉท
Very cleverly cute. I love Foreignerโs song โI want to know what love isโ.๐
Very nicely done. I love how this starts general then ends so personal.
A human pocket. They're the person who holds our love. Don't ask me why that was the first thing that came to mind when I read your last two lines ๐ ๐ Loved your poem!
Very cleverly done, Rachel and with a touch of subtle humor, like spice on the top of a cake. ๐๐๐๐๐
Dang! I think I sang this rather than reading it! Love this!
This feels like a smooth dance of words! Love being elusive yet always present, and a cheeky wink to the one who holds it. There's something magical about the way you bring it all together, playful and real.โจ
Them playing a cute little hide and seek but actually being there and always being there is the cutest thing ๐ What do singers and poets know?" such a sweet expression ๐ฅฐ
I knew this was going to be fantastic, as soon as I read the title, and sang the songs in my head ;) Wonderful. A big fan of love here. Lovely, playful writing x
You are on a tear with this challenge! Made to order for Rachel!

This is wonderfully clever and playful, with a touch of mystery and charm! The way you weave intrigue with a dash of humor is delightful. Short, sweet, and impactful!
Gorgeous work!
This is such a clever take on loveโlike itโs playing hide-and-seek but always right there when it matters. The last line hits perfectlyโso sweet and real!๐๐ฝ
This is a lovely light way to show your appreciation of your love. Nice work!
