Two lovers hear "I sense an empty lonely hammock somewhere!" and dash like crazy for the door, crashing together in the doorframe with hands, shoulders, hips, and laughter. The scene unfolds in vivid physical comedy: a barrel roll, a PLOP on the ground, faces inches apart.

Positive Love Poetry doesn't need solemnity to be sincere. The winner's strategy? "Got you right where I want you." Then they gasp, and kiss. Concrete, playful, and full of enduring affection.

“I sense an empty lonely hammock somewhere!” We both dash like crazy towards the door to the outside deck, and slam stop in a brief flurry of hands, shoulders, hips and laughter in the doorframe, as we crash together. I get there first and gracefully, I might add, roll weightless into the hammock, and set it in motion. You get there right after me and pile on. It flips around in a barrel roll, and drops both of us PLOP on the ground. I lie there looking up at you, our faces inches apart, blowing air, vaporized spit and exhale at each other. I groan with your body weight on my chest. "I guess you won," you concede. "I know. See how I played that?!" "How so?" "Got you right where I want you." We gasp, and kiss; and pant.
