Where have you been? Missed you. Your poem is surprising in that you used all those words in such a tiny poem. You are so creative. Excellent work.

    I've been missing for a couple of weeks. Family things and a little break. Missed writing so much! Thanks so much for your great compliments! And your excellent review. Sue :-))

I liked this. It was short and simple and easy to understand. Well stated and good use of the words required. Nicely done.

A very well written poem for
this type of contest. Not the
easiest venue to write in but
you have achieved a flowing
rendition that is set to rhyme.
Well done and good luck in the contest

You tried to use as few extra words. That's certainly a challenge. I thought your poem was nice, but the last line felt a little of for me. It flows really nicely up until (then love)
Perhaps it's just me but it's something to look at

    words, yeah...I've been off for a couple of weeks. Family stuff, then writer's block. Yikes! Nice break, though. So glad you liked this. It was not an easy word list (looked simpler than it was). Thanks for your great review. Sue :-))

    They always...always look simpler than they are....I do not do them...I am too much of a rebel to write with other people's words unless they strike me just right...so far none have.

    Glad to have you back!

Good to see you back, Sue! This is a great little poem, and highlights the ambivalence of love. It flows well, with good rhythm...I didn't realise it had to use certain words until the end. Good luck with the contest. :)

Almost, but not quite logical without a stretch of the imagination but well done none the less and after all, poetry should stratch our imaginations. Slainte, rhymer1.
