Addition Poem - Love's Creation

AC's National Poetry Month Challenge of the Day

Teresa Mahieu
Todays Nation Poetry Month challenge was to write an "addition poem". As I had no idea what form an addition poem was I had to do some researching on the Internet. I found very little help and decided to search within Associated Content. I am very glad I did and I wish to thank my fellow content sources for the wonderful poems I have had the pleasure to read while learning about the addition form of poetry.

Here I offer two samples with similar content. In the first I have increased each line of the poem by one word.

Love's Creation - An Addition Poem
You
And I
Are loves creation,
Our hearts pounding heavier
As we are becoming one.

Here the poem is written by adding one letter to each line.

Universal Love - An Addition Poem
I
We
Are
Love
Heart
Pounds
Heavier
Becoming
Universal.
