Description:
Pavlovian Love
A conditioning Through didactic speech Learning to never leave your side My love, I gladly abide Unable to Contemplate departure, Your experiment is far from done Division leaves me a solitary one Throw me a treat When I become sad With pen and paper Write a list of observed behavior I know in my heart It will never end I’m the one you’ve began to tame Saying ‘Pavlov’s a cut nickname’ Pleading for your return ‘what a peculiar thing’ You start to write ‘well isn’t that a pathetic sight’ Smiling because The experiment is better Than you could ever anticipate As I become torn between love and hate And every time you ask With a hint of a smile ‘how are you doing? I ask because I care’ I know my answer is filling up your questionnaire |

| very well written... the concept is ingenious and the words are exquisite! imagery makes you seem doglike refering to pavlov's dog... what exact kind of love was portrayed here though?? ali | Posted on 2007-07-21 00:00:00 | by Ali Marie | [ Reply to This ] | Oh, this was just exquisite. | I saw the title and immediately thought, "Pavlov's dogs!" and wondered what that could possibly have to do with love. But you wove love right into it. It was a very creative concept, and it fits just perfectly. The insatiable pull of being in love with someone; a dogs need for food. Someone being in control of your emotions; someone being in control of your food supply. I quite enjoyed this. | Posted on 2007-02-28 00:00:00 | by wovenwords | [ Reply to This ] | |
