Love (MWE, sketch with words)

The challenge was to sketch a picture with words.

*****

All living creatures have or will enjoy the true sense of love and I shall draw you a picture of love. Love has fangs, scales and foul breath, always snooping and squeezing into tiny holes.

Love has a way of taking one's breath away, causing screams, making smiles, hugs and kisses. Sometimes it's in the shape of a half heart, searching for the missing piece.

Love can be long or it can have a forked tongue, but love will slither by. This is love:

Very well said Pam. I can relate to having a half of a heart. Some things can not be replaced.

Love pretty accurately described. It is at once the most dangerous place to lose yourself and the safest and most satisfying.

Pam Brittain Jun 19, 2012, 9:15pm UTC

Wow, Alice. Thank you with all my heart. I do agree with you.

Oh, and by the way, I double take back my comment that you can't even spell SERIOUS: this was actually serious. Well, that is except for the picture of the two snakes-that is just evil.

Pam Brittain Jun 19, 2012, 9:46pm UTC

Seriously, Alice? Sorry, but the devil made me do the ending.

Alice G. Jun 19, 2012, 10:19pm UTC

The devil knows I have a snakeaphobia!

Now everyone will know the perfect present to get you. You might think of moving near religious neighbors, whom could babysit your lovely snakes on most any weekend. That would give you time to take a trip; maybe to Detroit, but I think the food better in Shipshewanna.

Pam Brittain Jun 20, 2012, 10:44am UTC

I'll give great thought to your suggestion, William. Thank you.

What a wonderful sketch of love. For me, love smells like a dogs breath. I'll have to wait a few years for that (uh, don't tell my wife I said that)

I always teased my kids when they complained about our cats drooling when being petted - then shaking themselves and spraying drool everywhere - that it was just their way of sharing the drippy love....

Pam Brittain Jun 25, 2012, 2:46pm UTC

You two are so much fun.

A clever, out-of-left-field take on love.
I especially appreciate the second para: "Love has a way of taking one's breath away, causing screams, making smiles, hugs and kisses."
Love it :-)

Thanks, Patrick. I'm so glad you enjoyed it.

Wow! Really pulls the reader into a different point of view. Very powerful

Pam Brittain Jun 25, 2012, 8:06pm UTC

Glad you enjoyed it, Sheila. I'm hoping to hear your opinion on my twisted stories idea.
