I like how you ended this unhappy love story with "two dreams lay unborn." They never loved each other enough to form "one" dream to work on together. Good picture to illustrate the poem, too.

Wow! Have we've all been there before? Your poem touches feeling, or the lack of them, that fades is a dwindling relationship. Fortunately most of us learn from our youthful hormonal overdrive and soul connect to our special some one. You've done this wit a few well chosen words we all can relate to.

Comment from Katchoo Ledeux
This is pretty much how I felt about every guy I dated, except my husband. I always had a nagging in the back of my mind telling me they weren't the right one, but I didn't fully believe in soul mates, so I kind of figured that's just how it was... until my husband. I knew instantly with him and it was such a powerful and undeniable feeling.

You did a good job with your short poem, nassus. The picture plus your well=chosen words make an overall sad statement. Good job on the syllable count. I believe the lovers broke up but there is a baby on the way. Thanks for sharing. Jan

Hi Nassus!
Sadly their love has apparently fallen by the wayside. The two people in the illustration clearly are not on the same playing field.
I especially like:
lukewarm .... love
goodbye kiss forgotten.
Thanks for this verse and image.

Comment from Michele Harber
You could be describing my last break-up (prior to my current happy marriage). He couldn't say "I love you," but he always showed it in his actions - until he didn't. We'd discussed marriage yet, a week before our third anniversary as a couple, he told me he wasn't ready for a commitment, and didn't know if he ever would be. Since you described an actual incident (of which you weren't even aware!) so perfectly, I'd say your poem shows honesty and a genuine understanding of human behavior and emotion - a lot to get through in 17 syllables, but you did.

The words and artwork show a broken relationship. The man seems like he is ignoring her comments.
Good luck in the contest. Keep writing.
Happy Holidays

Comment from Jaye Bennett
Didn't really every get started. One can only console oneself in believing it was not meant to be. The two dreams lying unborn may be born and have fantastic futures. If not, at least, in parting, they will not turn into nightmares. Nice 5-7-5 poem. Good job.
