Today's prompt was to write a poem that "describes something in terms of what it is not...like." I decided to write two tankas to form my poem. A tanka poem is similar to a haiku except it has 5 lines with the syllable count as 5/7/5/7/7 for each line.
Love
By Candace Shultz
Love is not anger.
Love is not fear. Love is not
ignoring the needs
of your beloved. It's not
jealous, hateful, filled with greed.
Instead, love is kind
and patient. It's listening
to your beloved,
trusting in their words, caring
about all the little things.
