Kudos for writing a meaningful loop poem. They are notoriously difficult to pen with a full-bodied theme and true emotive "pull." That being said, this particular challenge specifically states you must adhere to an a/b/c/b rhyme scheme. Monorhyme is not an option. For this reason, in order to not be disqualified I'd encourage you to rework your loop words so that the rhyme scheme is correct! (I'm certain you can do this!)

****Addendum: Lea reworked her poem and beautifully complies with the ABCB rhyme scheme. Great job!

    OKI fixed this one if you wanna have a quick. Peek thank you for your very awesome advice!

    So, with a/b/c/b rhyme scheme the second and fourth lines should rhyme with one another....and the first and third lines should not rhyme with any of the other lines....

    (PM me tomorrow if this is not clear and we can discuss it)

Wonderful entry for the Loop Poetry Contest that comes from your heart.

Good rhyme and meter that doesn't sound forced.

Nice presentation and imagery.

Good luck in the contest.

Carrying a message through a loop poem is not an easy task - you do an admirable job with )substance and meaning( - also, there is a certain musicality to the piece - your loop back to )air( is both clever and effective.

In your response to lancelot you write:
)And I will thank you for your review and for your comments well I will certainly change that to sweet and I appreciate your honesty thank you again!(

the correct spelling and pronunciation is )tout de suite(
OR at a minimum: )tout suite(

This is nice but there are issues with it. What you have in mono-rhymed. Also, the first word on the last line should be: Bare

This is what the contest calls for:
-There is a rhyme scheme. The rhyme scheme is abcb.

You're gaze at random floats in the air...

-You gaze at random floats in the air...

I think you did a great job with this challenge. I can see where it would be difficult to write a poem this way. Your words show your heartfelt feelings you put into the poem. Best of luck in the contest.

Matching end rhymes with a feeling of floating on air in this loop and I enjoyed the atmospheric created within this loop as a connection is made and then broken when love fails us, a poignant write, love Dolly x
