Hi Sharyn,
It is easy to see why your poem won the contest. It certainly is passionate, sensual and replete with erotic words. I like the form you used and the theme is very creative. Well done and congrats on the win....blessings, chey

Comment from Alexmi1984
This review will be said with a cliched French accent:
Ah, Paris. It's ze light city, ze romance capital of ze world and ze raison d'etre of romantics everywhere.
Now, I return to my true self to tell you how much I've enjoyed reading your romantic poem. It was as if I was watching a romance comedy (I laughed at times and that's the way I am...) and actually loving it.
It was a great read!
Alex :)

thx Alex - something a little different from your travelogues, oui? thanks for catching the romance comedy style - every romantic cliche in the French dictionary! :)Sharyn

It's my pleasure. It's fun to read another perspective on my fellow cultural compatriots (I grew up in a French environment.) :)
-
ooh - where???
-
In the cold, freezing sidewalks and streets of Montreal.
-
aaah - the last bastion - some say more French than France itself!
-
In a way, it's true. But we also have anglo-phobic people (French-speaking people that have an ethnic allergy to anything that doesn't come from Paris) and these are our last soldiers. I'm not part of that group, myself.

good for you! so easy to become narrow-minded when surrounded by negative elements - global society is on its way, like it or not, yes? :)
-
Definitely!!! We're all humans after all. No distinctions whatsoever should exist!!:)
Comment from Eternal Muse
First of all, I want to congratulate you on winning this contest with this impressive entry.
Great visuals on this one. Sometimes only free verse expresses what we want to say, and though a rhyming buff, I revert to it every now and then.
Great presentation, color and picture. An impressive composition.

Comment from Sally Carter
Gotta be a 6! Sorry I missed the contest, but it doesn't look as if you needed another vote. I am not at all surprised this won.
Very sensuous, very erotic - far more so than more graphic detail.
Very effective use of those two phrases about being alone in Paris and not knowing "him".
Definitely fits the brief. Sexy, with not a warning word in sight. (Though can "moist" ever have a non-sexy connotation??)
Brilliant. I loved it.

Comment from Hollyhock
Wow! I am not surprised this was the winner.
This is so sensual and sexy without being explicit. Let's face it, if you had been explicit it would have been XXrated!
Great imagery, full of double meanings, I shall never look at a peach in quite the same way again.
Many congratulations, sorry I have no six.

thx Holly - aaah, that was the trick, yes? I had a great deal of fun writing this, as you can imagine :)
Comment from jmdg1954
I can see why and how this poem was the contest winner..,
It showed enough passion to ingest it word for word and limited the wording allowing the imagination to go as far as you want it to go. The mark of a well written piece!

Thank you so much John - yes, those were the terms of the prompt and, for me, an infinitely preferable way to write. I had a LOT of fun with this one!
Blessings,
