Question: Poem!? Poem!? Poem!?
Love don't live here!
Love threw it's clothes in a Gucci bag,
Then clicked heels to a taxi cab!.
Daggers thrown from it's iris!.
Couldn't dock,
Had the port blocked like a pirate!.
Love swashbuckled, snacthed loot and skipped!.
Love came equipped,
Love spit venom from her lips!.
Love don't live here!.Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
This is a cool read Semper!.

Minor suggestion: Consider mentioning love only at the begining and the end of the poem!. Like so:

Love don't live here!
Threw its clothes in a Gucci bag,
Clicked heels to a taxi cab!.
Daggers thrown from it's iris!.
Couldn't dock,
Had the port blocked like a pirate!.
Swashbuckled, snacthed loot and skipped!.
Came equipped,
Spit venom from her lips!.
Love don't live here!.

You could also choose to put a break between your last line setting it off alone!.!.!.that might bring additional emphasis--something to think about!.

Very effective imagery, rhyme and meter (irregular), but the typo in line 7 needs to be corrected (snacthed) and lines 2 and 4 have a grammatical error (it's is the contraction of it + is)!.

It's interesting that love isn't gendered until line 9 (her lips), though the imagery implies that love is female!. The pronouns referring to love until line 9 are all neutral (its)!. I wonder if this was planned!. !. !.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I like it just like it is!. Only one thing, the pirate should have made her walk the plank! Thanks!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
