You were never a
romantic, no candles, flowers.
You wrote your heart in
large letters, emotion poured
and kisses like sunshine flowed.

In response to Willow’s challenge for Tanka Tuesday
Hello brother and sister #TankaTuesday family members, it’s Willow here. I am still away, but here is your prompt for this week.
Here are your two words to find synonyms for:
Love & Passion
This week, choose any form you’d like to create. Let’s use synonyms for the words “love & passion.” That means you must not use the words love or passion in your poem, only synonyms for those words.
Simply beautiful ❤️
