Is It Real? Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

This Love Poem takes on a very different strategy than most - instead of praising the beloved and singling out attributes that are appreciated, it looks at the state of being in love, an overview of love instead of a close-up. But when certainty comes into the speaker, it comes whole, with convincing force, and then there is an outward energy that propels the poem to its conclusion.Just above your poem was an advertisement about 10,000 Asian Beauties etc. and I can't imagine anything in greater contrast to the sincerity of your poem than this false-hearted selling of the flesh. Thank God for the truth of poetry!
