Excellent

I've read them all but am only commenting on the ones that I liked best, like top three. I think you have a good chance with this contest. Good luck. Love the racing metronome.

Good

I can almost visualize that heart trying to keep pace with a metronome "gone wild." Unfortunately, your Septolet does not have the required number of 7 lines.

I will make it seven lines. I guess I have a problem reading instructions. Thanks for the feedback.

My heart raced
Like a
Metronome
Gone wild

I like this. Metronome, known for being steady and rhythm aren't easily thrown off beat. It takes something truly powerful to affect it so. Much like love, and I think this example really adds a strength to the poem. Well done.

There's one very strong image in this poem. I liked the idea of a metronome gone wild. Usually I think of a metronome as very steady and predictable, and the upset of that expectation worked for me.
