Written for Ovi Poetry Challenge #69;
our inspiration word is βspiceβ. Here is my ovi.

Itβs said love makes the world go βround
A loving couple altar bound
Their forever love have they found
What a very happy day!
What is the special joy of life
A happy man, a happy wife
A recipe with lots of spice
Who could ask for more?
Keep fighting to a minimum
Lovemaking to a maximum
Your lives will never be humdrum
And youβll smile all the while!

What a lovely, poetic potion of sweet love! You’re love guru, Nancy. And love the song too.

Thanks, Michele! Glad you like both the poem and song. I was originally going to go with the song of the same name from the play “Carnival”; perhaps you know it. It’s a lovely tune and I can imagine a very nice contemporary dance routine to the carnival-like melody.

Thanks, D! I was originally going to use the song of the same name from “Carnival”, then I remembered this one. I doubt too many people would have remembered the song from the play.

Hahaha! I have to admit, Clive, as much as I dislike both Liza with a Z and Joel Grey, this was rather entertaining!
