How do I love you - in poem or prose In a story, a eulogy, aubade or an ode? I could love you in a sonnet A senryu, though terse I'd spill my heart - drop by drop Or ink it verse after verse I could write a terzannelle A villanelle I could chance Tapping on the refrain of love The feet of romance I could weave metaphors and similes Sweet and sublime Or trip down the keys Playfully alliterate each line How do I love you? I can love you as I do - In simple words that are writ - From a heart that is true
