The Love of God

Looking for love,
In all the wrong places,
When really a Dove,
Should fill all the spaces.

I wrote this poem for a poetry contest last year. The person I sent it to replied that they liked the humor in it and thought I should keep writing poetry.

I didn't mean for it to be funny.

  1. Perhaps they thought that you were talking about dove chocolate! lol

  2. Apparently they weren't familiar with the dove being synonymous with God. In which case, it would be a little funny.

  3. Yeah, I'm pretty sure she didn't know I was talking about God. One of my friends also brought up the idea of the dove representing peace, which would make sense too although it isn't funny.
