Start writing... My fierce aardvark, you inspire me to write.

How I love the way you call, skip and hunt,

Invading my mind day and through the night,

Always dreaming about the awesome shunt.

Let me compare you to a laid balloon?

You are more acid, tiny and afraid.

Right sun heats the gorgeous peaches of June,

And summertime has the white marinade.

How do I love you? Let me count the ways.

I love your rough eyelashes and humour.

Thinking of your clear fingers fills my days.

My love for you is the adipose tumor.

Now I must away with an unreal heart,

Remember my small words whilst we're apart.

Refresh until you're happy with your poem.

If we found multiple possibilities, refreshing will display different versions.

Publishing your poem will stop it changing.
