Okay, so I know it's not Monday. I was on the road yesterday and was not able to post this. Here's my contribution to Poetry Monday, one day late. This month's theme is Love/Affection. (By the way, anybody know how to not have the big spaces in between the lines?)

"I Had No Time to Hate"

I had no time to hate, because

The grave would hinder me,

And life was not so ample I

Could finish enmity.

Nor had I time to love; but since

Some industry must be,

The little toil of love, I thought,

Was large enough for me.

Emily Dickinson
