This truly was a sweet read.Within your graceful expressions you've captured the meaning of longing and that of desire.I'm sure that the beauty of that first kiss,will always be treasured in everyone's heart.

Thanks for sharing

Oh, yes! Do try it. It is SO much fun! I felt that because the poem reads fast, that that is why I was able to pick up speed in finding the words. Hard to describe, but give it a try. Thanks for your very kind review, Sweet Pea. With regards, Sue

Hi, Sue. I KNOW how hard this format is and you've achieved success brilliantly. You almost lose the necessary rhyme pattern disguised amongst a great love story. 'Damn, here I am' - stunning way to end the scheme.
Highly skilled and enjoyable read.
Good luck and best wishes, Ray xx

This is a new poetry style for me and looks like it takes a healty dose of concentration and planning to accomplish it. You have done it well.

Duane, I couldn't help but laugh at your "healthy dose of concentration" remark. Let's say there is a lot of word counting! ha! Thanks so much for you kind review. With regards, Sue

You did an excellent job on this poem. Though the format was restrictive, your poem does not seem choppy at all. The photo you chose to accompany your poem was a great match to the feeling that is drawn from your poem. You captured the essence of a hopeful heart. I did not see any spags that need to be addressed.

I think you did a great job of MASTERING Curt's Vers Beaucoup my friend and you would of done very well in the contest because it is a lot better than some of the ones entered[except mine of course]HA! The voting is a lottery unfortunately but I know Curt would be happy with both our efforts Sue.

ON FLOOR LAUGHING! "Just flexing, right?" - Yes, just flexing. One day, though........Thanks SO much for reviewing. Love the 'vers beaucoup'. When I wrote this, I had on my velvet glove. tee hee, Sue

reply by Hitcher on 07-Dec-2008

My velvet glove from my Vers beaucoup! I thought i'd misplaced it, how on earth did you end up with it Sue? Ha Ha. My feather weeps!

reply by the author on 08-Dec-2008

No way was I going to enter that contest and ruin your chances to win the vers beaucoup!!!

Ouch....that was BAD! I may need to get whacked by a feather for that one! HA!!!

No, it didn't enter my mind to get into the contest. Just got so absorbed into wanting to create one. Since I've started to write, I'm doing weird things like collecting phrases and words. WHAT????!!!! Do you do that? HA!! So, I had on one of my Word documents this line which I saved.

It is never too late to be who you might have been.
~George Eliotâ?¨

So, when I sat down to write the vers beaucoup, I saw that line. Then, suddenly, took note of "never too late" and that's how I started the poem. Crazy!

And the other day, I was on the phone with my daughter. We were chatting away and she said, "Yes, but I'm an exception to that rule". And I said, HANG ON...I like that phrase. So, I typed it on Word real quick. And told her I was going to write a poem around that. That's how I wrote "An Opening". SO FUN!!! I swear, this writing thing is becoming like heroin. I need a fix constantly! HA!!!

Can't wait for your upcoming gi-normous, dark work. I'm going to be the first to review!
