You'll need to use imagination,
Or a pen and pagination
To reveal this configuration:
A two circle ven diagram.
Close your eyes,
Or draw the same,
But create two circles
Not yet combined,
Separate circles,
Undefined.
One circle is titled Set A.
List these despicable words:
alarm, panic, disgust,
revulsion, fear, indifference,
anger, sorrow, grief,
guilt, worry, doubt,
despair, hurt, stress,
tension, remorse, pain.
One circle is titled Set B.
List these wonderful words:
desire, admiration, surprise,
amusement, gratitude, hope,
joy, triumph, jubilation,
relief, generosity, sympathy,
delight, pleasure, courage,
satisfaction, friendship, euphoria.
Now for reader interaction
You'll be using picture cognition.
To envision this conception.
Move the two circles toward
Each other to intersect,
And to create
An elliptic circle,
I like to call
The ventricle,
Centered like our hearts.
This is Set C,
The combination
Of Sets A & B.
And you see,
It's empty.
I title this circle,
LOVE.
One word.
But as a participant
In this poem,
Give C
A title
Of your own.
As the Chairman, Frank, sang: "You can't have one without the other."
Tried to put this on HP as an actual Ven diagram, but could not get it to work. So, I created the Partici-poem. Hope it works.
