I got you !
Okay well it's reassuring to hear that, hehe. I don't consider myself the "funny" type, but I try to convey something meaningful before being humorous. So to "literally" prevent "falling" in love, yeah just sit down, the likelihood of you falling shouldn't be that high. But also if you reallyyyy, want to avoid further heartache, just "sit down," because if you don't look for love, it will eventually come to you. 💖
Thanks for the explanation Rocky, i had a similar opinion about the lines, like to have control of yourself and not to dive too deep early on. love the message conveyed with the pun!
I like your dry humour, Rocky! Thanks for the smile!
Thank you kindly dear poet! I'm honestly really glad to see I at least made you smile, my goal was just to bring up the reader's mood with a little ole jest. Btw, I've never thought of a better way to describe my humour than just that: "dry humour." Wow you are a clever soul.
What a witty response rocky! We won't fall if we 'sit down '. Indeed! Loved this so much!
Hehe, I'm glad you caught the joke. I thought maybe not too many would've understood but it's nice to see you got it. Thanks so much for the "fave" dear poet, you're so kind. Have a lovely day!
You are very welcome rocky and thank you too for bringing a smile to my face with your clever words!❤ you too have a wonderful day ahead 😊
LOL. I promise you that sitting down is no solution.
Falling in love and out of love and becoming heartbroken are all a part of living. Experiencing them is a sure sign that you are living life well. Without them life would be... well 'different' and far from as rewarding. And those experiences don't half teach you stuff about life which no book will ever teach you.
Let it happen.
Wow, I feel like I just heard some wise and sage Buddhist speak directly to my soul, hehe. Thank you so much for your wisdom Dusk, it's people like you that I need to enlighten me
I adore this short poem. A very good title as well! This is a funny and thoughtful write. After 20 years of marriage myself, I'm glad I never had to deal with heartache. Well, do high school boyfriends count? LOL I saw a very wise reply that you wrote---"because if you don't look for love, it will eventually come to you'---wise beyond your years!!!!
Lol, thanks so much Christina for these words. Though I've never really had any relationship yet, I know quite a bit about the whole "love scene" and how complicated that could get. It's truly reassuring to hear that you've been lucky enough to escape heartbreak, I can only imagine how much that could hurt. But regardless, I'm glad you enjoyed my lighthearted poem, have a beautiful day!
Good write R. lol.
Thx Orchi, I got the wittiness from u
Lol. Perfect poem for a perfect title.
Aww, thanks so much Saxon. You're the best, I try the hardest I can to connect with readers, so it's nice to feel you got my gist.
Dry humor at it's best. I think the two different fonts for the question and answer really adds to the wit. You gave me a great chuckle!
Thanks a bunch Bella, it's really nice to hear I at least got a good chuckle out of someone. I don't find myself very funny or witty so whenever I dip into humor I just come across as sarcastic and dumb, hehe. Anyways, thanks so much for your generosity, you're so kind. Have a lovely day!
Hi Rocky, Crazy good as always! Who would want to prevent it though!
Thx so much Tallis, you're so kind. I mean I think this is just directed to those who have already experienced heartache and would prefer to stay aloof from it until they recover. So this poem is just written from the perspective of a friend of that heartbroken person, "trying," to cheer them up. It's wild but thanks nonetheless. Have a wonderful day!
Hahaha Rocky good one!
Thanks so much Rozina, it's really fulfilling to see I connected with you. Have a good one dear poet!
I just thought of 'Brevity is the soul of wit' from Shakespeare's 'Hamlet'.
I don't know much Shakespeare and I say 'I don't always agree with that Shakey guy, ya know!' lol.
I don't like his 'The world's a stage, and all of us are players/actors' or summat like that. I don't agree.
But 'Hamlet' has several fairly well-known witty sayings in it. See a Reference Book, as I did, if not reading the whole play.
