Six Sentence Story: How To Write A Love Poem

I told Mark to put a lid on his sarcastic babbling and write a love poem. The problem was Mark didn’t know how (which is why I’m writing this tale). Betty, Mark’s nemesis and master at setting off needless fireworks, was as bad as – no, let’s face it, she was even worse than – Mark.

Who would have thought those two would ever come together since by every natural law on the books you need more than self-exertion to do the impossible. But when the impossible happened to them, in spite of their exercising every option they had to stop it, Mark and Betty got what is called a miracle.

So, all you have to do to write a love poem is let heaven get near enough (like right inside you) so heaven can do through you (since you’re no longer a bystander) what heaven does best: lovely miracles.

  3. the funny thing about miracles? it is, imo, the willingness on our part to see them for what they are, to accept them as miracles is the trick. not that they are rare, it’s that we close our eyes too often to them

  7. yes, this is true and the best love poems of all come straight from the heart. Even if my dear who can’t write for his life would write me a love poem… I would know it’s from heaven. And certainly a miracle.
