I adored the sentiment here Lisa and without love life is not worth living, our heart leads us into all sorts of scrapes and sometimes brings us sorrow, but we never stop falling in love, much enjoyed, love Dolly x

Four letters mean live life, make love, don't hate. That is the "story of our lives." Jenny. :) Yet, in the mixed-up world we live in, the alphabet soup is composed of different letters. But I don't know how to spell. This is a good entry for the 5-7-5 Poetry Contest. Thank you for sharing.

Oh yes indeed, there's just four letters, but love means a wide variety of things to many people, unfortunately we only have one word for love, where the Ancient Greek has about eight, categorised, and apparently Indonesian does. Well done, blessings Roy

I love the fact that your poem gave a nod to alphabet soup. It makes me think of innocence which makes me think of pure love. Joy and love go hand in hand. Lovely sentiments.

Beautifully stated 5-7-5 poem. Love the large text, and the Scrabble board image. Your poem is cleverly thought out from beginning to end. Good luck in the contest. You have a good entry.

Indeed, Jenny!
How very true your well-crafted 5/7/5 expresses the fact that an "alphabet of joy" is available to all of us to express our feelings and the "story of our lives."

Smiles all around!

Best Wishes!

It is good to see you posting again.
This very sweet and clever in so few words captures the joy and value these four letters have in our lives.
Good luck in the contest.
Best wishes,

Good to see you back again. I was hoping everything was okay with you.
I like this one. To me the soup indicates lots of components and many variations, which is what love brings to our lives, with the side product of joy. Hopefully this is the story of our lives. Well written, very thoughtful.
Best wishes for your entry.
Wendy

This tiny poem captures the importance and value of this four letter word so well in just those seventeen syllables. It is comparatively easy to write within a syllabic restriction but to say something worthwhile at the same time is rather more difficult.

This is a sweetly powerful little 5-7-5 poem that has a metaphor right in the middle to help define the importance of Love, which the photo illustrates. Caught some 's' alliteration with 'soup' near 'story' and some ending 'L' alliteration with 'letters' and 'lives.' Good luck in that contest.
