Love is the greatest gift of all. 

Love that is true love, is not a commodity that can be bought or sold; it can only be expressed. Love poetry is only one mode of expression, but one that has the power to touch and awaken the heart and mind.  

Without love, humankind could not survive. 

It is within this context that "Love Poetry 2013" is compiled and published by W. Diane Van Zwol.
