Long Distance Relationship Poem

Long distance relationship are so common these days that people even write poems about them. Poems, limericks, and haikus are a few ways to express your love. A picture may speak a thousand words but sometimes a poem distills in a few words the essence of something that it could take a whole book to describe. Here is one example where long distance love is viewed through the lens of poetry by Dani Meier (2007). It’s not poet laureate stuff but poetry can include humor too. And to handle a long distance relationship (or any relationship for that matter) a sense of humor is important: An Ode to Long Distance Love, Dani Meier A long distance love can be lovely, There’s passion and sex and romance, You can meet in new wonderful places, You can wine, you can dine, you can dance. Leave regular life far behind you, No work and no phones and no bills, This is the time for just playing, No cleaning up messes or spills. After the fun is all done, Go back to your life and be you, Stay in your boxers or sweats, Be a slob, ignore the shampoo. Yes, long distance love can be lovely, When you plan it, the romance is there, But the rest of life just isn’t bothered, What a great way to spell love affair!
