Notice of absence from Doggerel Dave
Update: I will perhaps return sometime.....
Update: I will perhaps return sometime.....
For me, love is ofttimes confused with infatuation;
The word can be utilised as a form of punctuation.
In fact used frequently with many a connotation,
Many times used blithely as a throwaway line.

- Comment from author about the poem: I cannot get serious about the word ‘love’. It is overused, particularly here. This jotting is in response to Thad Wilk’s accusation that it would have killed me to admit I liked his love poem. It did not.

Well I for one love infatuations, so titillating!
Clever...... Last line fits you perfectly.
Now it’s an open secret!
You have to make decisions about every letter you put down around here...
Or not, just to give the pot a stir!
Yes - that was I hope tactful advice. I don't follow it much (as you may have noticed...)
Tact keep us intact, while in public. Thanks kindly, respectable sir.
😆👍
Haaa! 😁
Haaaaa! 👍👍
I said
It would kill you if you
had "to say"
YOU liked love poems.🤪
Anywho,
Thanks for sharing my friend!
Best regards ✌️ peace. Thad
Another clever response with a dash of tricky....😆👍
Love for me is wonderful Dave, I am a very lucky man.
Andy
A classic Andy response which I am not about to knock......👍
There's those cartoons: 'Love is......' And so love is various things - maybe not just one thing or one definition of it.
Woof! What you doing talking sense? Fido asks me! lol.
I think Fido must be buttering you up in the hope of an extra bone for Christmas....😆
i agree with your 3rd line 'it's used frequently with many a connotation'
true observation indeed
Yes: For me, the last three lines (the first the exception) are variations on the same theme and an attempt to soften a little the ‘infatuation’ accusation.
This is a theme I’ve explored several times and in more depth, here for example:

This, just a ‘jotting’ as I mentioned above.
Have yourself a good festive season ,Nafisa.
yes i did, thanks, and have penned my observations under that poem
wishing you a beautiful two weeks starting today- let's hope 2024 ends the ways you visualized it, and hope that 2025 brings common sense into people's minds and lives
Guilty as charged, enjoyable read,
Not sure what you are guilty of..... ? I hope it does not accrue a very heavy penalty....
It can be used as a throw away line I agree. I guess I shouldn’t be saying I love your poem. I will stick to I like your words. Happy Wednesday Dave.
No ’shouldn’t’ here, Cassie. You be unconstrained – say it whichever way you like (with of course the expectation that I will respond…)
Wednesday has gone. I survived. It was cooler after a thirty plus degree Tuesday.
Take care and have a good festive season if I don’t bump into you before then.
Here here my friend I could not agree more. A word used loosely and too lightly in its over use it not only becomes trite but profane. Loved this one Dave
Thanks for that Soren.
I must say that Andy's Love Is All Acrostic. (up near the top of the trending column as usual) has the real thing pretty much defined properly there.
PS: how are your metaphoric price rises coming along?😊
Damn doggerel of you, Dave. Clever too. Nice work.
From time to time I get the urge to have a go ....at this love thing. Not the first and probably not the last.
Thanks for your attention, Dan.
What a poem! Expressive in brevity. Fantastic
Gone at it in greater length previously:

It is a theme I return to occasionally.
Thanks for the visit.
Read the poem and enjoyed it a lot. Perhaps both of us share similar thoughts. On a separate note you could check out the poem I wrote yesterday. It's called Finding the Right Words

I have, and thanks for the tip off. Amidst the plethora of poems here, It's easy to miss one.
It's such a downright charming "4-letter word," isn't it, though? And your little four line rhymed stanza on the issue now reminds me, via its final line, of my late mother's complaint to me on the same issue. She said she couldn't believe it pertained to her if I freely applied it to so much else. Excellently rendered with a haunting poignancy and perfect imagery. Thank you for sharing, good Sir.
Madam, I shall forever be obliged to you for your ongoing support....
What did I almost miss .. perhaps .. ❤️👍
Didn't miss anything really - nothing I haven't banged on about before....Thad gave me an excellent opportunity to bang on about loove again and perhaps slightly embarrass what happens to be an old adversary......
Lest I forget....😂
