About "LOVE"

This short poem depicts the heart and soul of “Love 2000 AD”.


I wrote this poem, now entitled “Love”, at the International Society of Poets Conference, held in Washington, DC, in 1995. As it was given to me, I penned it on the scroll for the “World's Largest Poem For Peace.”


Let me tell you more about this unique scroll.


Poets from all over the world attended the international poetry conference. We were all invited to submit a new piece of poetry for this project, or to write a new poem on the scroll, that had been set up in one of the rooms. It was actually a huge roll of paper, unrolled at one end and re-rolled on the other end of several tables, that had been set together lengthwise.


Not having any of my poetry with me at that moment and not wanting to let the opportunity slip by, I quickly penned this poem.


I entitled this poem “Love,” at a later date.
