Pick-Apart Poetry with Babara K. and SharonLee and poem featured by Angel Love
Hello and Greetings once more to this month’s
“Pick-Apart Poetry”
We would like to introduce you to a very special guest
For our very first Pick-Apart Poetry Challenge.
Let’s give a very special welcome to
“Angel Love“
~Here is a bit more about Our Guest~
Angel Love is truly inspired by her namesake Angel
“I am more of a writer than a poet…I did write one book, but my computer ate it and I didn’t have it backed up, so am waiting to become inspired again to get at again. My daddy gave me the name Angel…so my pen name became Angel Love because I am all about spreading the love vibe!”
~Angel Love~
The poem she has selected, Love the Gift of Peace by Peter Russell is about
“Unconditional Love“
Angel Love is married with children and is here on FriendBurst for networking and friendship!

Below are the Rules for our
Pick-Apart Challenge
Here is our Featured poem by poet
Peter Russell
As presented by Angel Love
Love – The Gift of Peace
by Peter Russell
Love is not something you do,
Love is a way of being.
And more than that.
It is simply being,
Being with another person,
however they may be.
Holding no judgments,
having no agendas,
No desire to control,
No need to prove your love,
No intrusion upon their soul.
Nothing but a total acceptance of their being,
Born of your acceptance of yours.
Unconditional love is not unconditional approval
of another’s actions, irrespective of their effects
upon others. It is unconditional love of the being
behind the action. It does not depend upon how
a person thinks, feels, or behaves. It does not
pause to assess whether or not another is worthy
of affection. It recognizes that beneath all our
various appearances and activities we all want to
feel loved. In this we are all united.
Unconditional love recognizes that we are all to some
extent, caught in the belief that our inner satisfaction
is determined by what goes on around us. We all feel the
need for security, control, recognition, approval, and
stimulus to varying degrees, we all feel threatened from
time to time by things that seem to stand in the way of
our fulfillment; and we can all make mistakes.

SIMPLY LOVE
Love is simply
something more
than agendas
or judgments;
something more
than control
or appearances;
more than intrusion
into our inner soul.
Love is simply being;
it is holding.
Love is
united fulfillment;
it is security,
not control.
Love is
unconditional
acceptance;
and
LOVE SIMPLY IS.

Thanks to Peter Russell for his poetry
and to Angel Love for sharing it with us
and for being our Guest for our first
Pick-Apart Poetry on Friendburst. ~barb~
I hope I did this right ? I had a great time trying this ;0
I look forward to sharing this time with you again tomorrow. Will be here early (California time early — as we’re three hours behind East Coast early and a whole day or so behind you, Sharonlee) with my coffee. Such amazing pieces posted tonight. Looking forward to what is shared tomorrow (well, today for most). All those in harm’s way tonight and affected by recent tragedies are in my thoughts and prayers. Stay safe . . . . ~barb~

Thank You Peter and I DO believe in ANGELS :love: Dee
Wonderful Blog…love all of the LOVE writes……..Hugs to all……… 🙂
My hat’s off to all of you. I have been quiet of late, but I still continue to enjoy the creativity I see in this group. Beautiful writes…I believe that Angel Love could write a captivating love poem about a bug falling off of a rock…she is that creative and talented.
Just my two cents…
RC
:love:
Awe…thanks RC…now that is a challenge…but here goes 😉
A ladybug was on a rock
I remember as a child
She fell off and I rescued her
I looked at her and smiled.
She whispered secrets in my ear
Telling me what I should do
Heal divides in this world
And teach others about love, too! :love: :love: :love:
