Love Poem
When you fall in love,
you jockey your horse
into the flaming barn.
You hire a cabin
on the shiny Titanic.
You tease the black bear.
Reading the Monitor,
you scan the obituaries
looking for your name.

Nice poem. The trick I feel, when one loses their heart, make sure to hang on to the reins.. :)
