Day 28 ... NaPoWriMo / Poem-a-Day 2026 / Stafford 102

Hello, everyone! My poem today is #102 in this year's Stafford Challenge (and #467, including last year's Stafford Challenge poem count). Robert Lee Brewer’s Poem-a-Day suggestion: “For the fourth and final Two-for-Tuesday prompt:  1) Write a love poem, and/or . . . 2) Write an anti-love poem.” Maureen Thorson’s NaPoWriMo prompt: “Today, try writing a poem [with] three sentences, six lines: statement, question, conclusion." Combining all three prompts . . . a very small space to get all this in. True Love She to him: I love you and I don’t love you. He to her: is that true or is that not true? She to him: either/or; He to her: both/and. —Draft by Vince Gotera    [Do not copy or quote . . . thanks.] Alan very successfully combined all three prompts. Bravo! The Haters Want Us to Love Them They bought a warehouse, replacing goods with people. See how a bully calls foul when he's called "bully"? He insists on love when all we want is justice. —Draft by Thomas Alan Holmes    [Do not copy or quote . . . thanks.] Photo Source Thanks for coming by the blog, everyone. See you again tomorrow? Friends, won’t you comment, please? Love to know what you’re thinking. Thanks! Ingat, everyone.  ヅ
