The Verb “to Is! ” Poem by Dónall Dempsey

The Verb “to Is! ”

Rating: 2.6


You ask me
politely

“What please
is the difference

between the verb
“to be”

& the verb
“to is”

“? ”

I laugh.

And you frown.

Pout.

“Laugh please
not at me! ”

“I have the desire
to learn learning! ”

“I’m sorry...forgive me! ”
“I do too! ”

And today
you give me

the gift
of the verb


“to is! ”

I hating
to correct

your lovely
words

when I love
what they do

teasing the language
(fire from embers)

as they glow
anew.

Always & forever
my love

is the
verb

“to is! ”

Love is everywhere - while learning languages, too...and where is love there are you, of course - like a photographer, making snapshots of every kind of love in every moment! By the way, what is the verb 'to is', please? :)
