Love At First Write

A modern day love story

We live in a different world these days
A world where you’re more likely to meet,
Online, a dating site, even social media or
Chat rooms, rather than a meet and greet.

So hang awhile and let me tell you a story
It’s not what you think, love at first sight,
It all occurred online, a creative platform
Making it a modern day, love at first write.

I uploaded and published a poem one day
Where I later found this perfect comment,
Beautifully written, unique and encouraging
I read between the lines what was meant.

I’d respond, with kindness and gratitude
Maybe slip in a double edged innuendo,
My next poem was ready to be published
The next comment I’ve kept as a memento.

Light hearted banter, both back and forth
Until one comment slammed into my heart,
There it lodged hard, as content as can be
Causing my heart to swell and love to start.
