You my girls are so brilliant it amazes me. This is another beautiful poem written from the heart and so beautifully descriptive it is breathtaking - oh the beauty of real life and to meet your soul mate is something no money in the universe can by.
Well done
you rock me girl

This is a beautiful poem and it has been so nicely written. Such lovely deep and meaningful words. This was a tricky contest challenge - you met the necessary criteria. And your words mean so much more. Best wishes.

Hey, you did a great job of writing it romantic without those words. I don't think I could have done it so easily. I loved the art work also. I didn't know palm tress could get that tall.

I love the picture. The lovers are in the shadows. The guiding light is for them only. But the observer sees they care about each other. My husband has been dead for three years. I carry him in my heart and my life is better. Great work.

A lovely poem. The visual shape is intriguing. The use of repetition is effective in presenting the love you hold. Good luck in the contest~Debbie

I read your post and enjoyed it. Only at the end did I pick up on the word exclusions. You did well. It did not come across as forced or contrived, just a smooth reading love poem! Bill

You have written a very touching love poem within the strict contest rules. It is amazing how well you expressed love without using the word along with so many others. Great job, good luck in the contest.

Average

I guess I am a bit old-fashioned when it comes to poetry. It isn't strictly necessary that it rhyme, although that is a plus for me. But it is absolutely necessary that there be a rythm and a flow to it that this piece lacks.

Oh-Oh! I smell commitment.
You have satisfied the" Mother Teresa Prompt"
That leaves same-sex and bestiality.
Repetition is effectively employed in this
worthy Love Poem Entry.
