About the Poem
One of the largest parts of life is looking for love, and that is what this poem is about. It isn't a love poem, however, it is a chronicle of my personal quest for love in my life. The first seven lines are from a children's nursery rhyme which inspired the poem. I am not certain as to the origin or title of the nursery rhyme.
