Love Song by Dorothy Parker

I enjoyed reading “Love song,” because it has its irony that describes the "real" love between a couple. In my opinion, Parker wrote her poem the way she did, just to leave space for the reader to contrast the other love poems of her time with hers, because each love story has its ups and downs. She has a unique way of describing her love towards her man, and even though she wishes that she had never met him and for him to get shot, yet, she still loves him and he is all her world.

My favorite parts of the poem are:

"My own dear love, he is all my world, --
And I wish I'd never met him."
***********************
"My own dear love, he is all my heart, --
And I wish somebody'd shoot him."
