This is a great "love is" poem with the correct syllable count for a 5-7-5 entry. The repetition of Love is in the first and third line together with the "ing" as the final syllable on each line is meaningful and gives structure - it makes this a poem and not just a collection of words. Best wishes for the competition.

This little senyru is beautifully penned, as well as very true. Loving someone is not about what you can take from someone. I like to believe it is what you gain from your journey together along the way. Give as well as taking, that's what makes it all work.
Bravo!

Love is all about giving - and in the giving you receive more than you could have hoped for. I really love this poem and the sentiment you are sharing.

This poem sets forth the generally accepted formula for love. Beautiful picture of what looks like a cherry tree.

Love is not taking
But in seeing and feeling
Love is all giving

Cheers,
DW

A great little verse, that is so true love is all about the giving, it is hard to find sometimes or even realise you have till it's gone.... the picture is stunning..
