What Is Love?
Number of words: 1211 | Number of pages: 5.... view love the same way as I do. The poem is named "Love, how I'd love to slip down to the pond." In the poem there were lines that helped me realize that love is not what you say, it is what you do. And in the poem there was a line that stood out far from the rest.

Now the people from Latin American countries have come in homes of freedom, and better lives.

anything except red meat, or at least strictly limits it. Because the term vegetarian is used to cover all facets and
