A Love To Call My Own Comments

Bro quit trying to claim the poem. It's a piece of art and if one of y'all wrote it then good job. If you really did write it however, I feel like you wouldn't tell everyone that on a poem site.

An obvious case of plagiarism. More than one person claims to have written this poem. Some say they read it more than 50 years ago. Shame on you, Shilpa, for claiming it as your own.

I think the name was Patricia Baldwin. I am not sure anyway

Shilpa, this is not your poem. I have read this as a child, and the was an English lady, I can't recall her name. It is absurd…

I memorized this poem 50 years ago first time I have been able to find it. Thank you

Found this poem in the 1970's and copied to my fav poems book!

This poem was published in Teen Magazine in the early 1970's. It was written by me under my name then, Jean Burr Smith. I wrote it when I was fifteen.

i want to thank everyone for there wonderful comment and am so glad that so many enjoy it. however shilpa Poetess is not the author of this poem i wrote it over 40 years ago. DC

When you ask for me again You'll find I won't be there I want a love to call my own Not one I have to share......................ingeniously curved over flow of love, yet utterly passionate that enlightens heart to croon...beautifully rhymed,10++, thanks for sharing

I am overwelhmed with emotions... how so very realistic.....lovely

nice poem.. well portrayed.. but it's a waste of time spending a life in the thoughts of a flirt...for they rarely change... better to think of future.

Hey Shilpa, very nice poem.. keep writing

For I must hide my broken heart Beneath a laughing face And though you think I never cared No one can take your place good stanza..impressive and interesting..your poem as a whole is done well in romantic way.. poetic flow is inspiring and seems melodious one.. idea is relatively rich too...10+++++++++++

This is good! Really good...
