Analysis of Love

Claire Ouyang 2011 (California)



Love is the hot chocolate from the café next door,

A cozy embrace on a chilly winter's morn.

Its warmth envelops her,

It fills her heart with love all its own.

As her lips touch the rim of the mug,

The sweet liquid pours into her throat.

It stays inside forever,

And it spread through her and became part of her.

She washes the mug and puts it away.

About this poem

I wrote this poem to suggest that love is always there no matter the situation. Just like we can always count on our favorite cafe to give us a delicious cup of hot chocolate, we can rely on love to bring us happiness and support.
