The Best Worst Poem

I won a free pizza from the Parlor for this poem (though I think a lot of that had to do with the way John Pugh read it rather than how I wrote it; then again, the poem is pretty awful). It's called...

"You Are"

You are the light.
Our love is brighter than
the sun and the moon and the stars.

You are the music.
Our love is more melodious than
Beethoven and the Beatles and Bono.

You are the water.
Our love is stronger than
rivers and waterfalls and oceans.

You are the fire.
Our love is hotter than
bombs and fireworks and wood-burning stoves.

You are the story.
Our love will last longer than
Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy, and Ron and Hermione, and Anne and Gilbert.
