14 Words of Love


Our this week's optional prompt asks us to share 14 loving words, or words about love – any kind of love, for anyone or anything.  If that doesn't give you enough scope for everything you'd like to say, you may create several stanzas of 14 words each."

. . . 

With help of Ai google found 

14 words of love for me 

I'll try my best to wrap them all 

With words of my own and Webster 


All the time my precious sweetheart 

Kiss on your cheek warm embrace 

Old fashion love it works for us 

Here are my words that I wil try:  


Love, Ai gave my start from here 

Agape, selfless puppy dog 

AFFECTION, a little lighter 

Adoration, Christmas tree kind 


Devotion, only you Darling 

Eros, comes as passionate love 

LUDUS, playful love, pat your rear 

Passion, my strong love relentless


Philautia, self-love, not my kind 

Philia, friends love, old people

Pragma, committed, here to stay 

Romance, see this in the movies 


Storgē, familial love, touching 

Warmth, cuddling, save for winter night 

. . . Now my Darling, with all our kinds 

We should marry, so will you please 


(Shiver, shiver, are you ready?)

Grandma's house



 I r




Ii


I remember my Grandma H 

When she married her mother's word 

You are boss of the house, who comes, 

and who goes and all that's within 


He is boss of the barn and more 

All the animals and the wilds 

The garden you will have a spot 

Flowers and tasty vegetables 


He will help harvesting your crop 

And plowing the soil for next year 

Pulling and hoeing weeds that grow 

. . . All seemed to be going so well 


Then after fifty years married 

They celebrated open house 

Invited friends from miles away 

Grandpa installed a bar for friends 


Grandma saw the bar and winced 

Grandpa's friends came, bar in the barn.
