Hi Eugene,
This is a romantic sonnet using a romantic font. It has as many swirls as a well danced waltz. The font does make some of the words hard to read.
A good ballroom dance always shows the feeling of the dancers involved as this one does.
I think you might want to find synonyms for embrace because you use it three times.
Keep writing and stay healthy
Congrats on placing third in the contest.
Have a great day.
Joan

    Joan,

    Thank you for your review. Eight years ago I began this journey as a novice poet and writer and have over the years learned from many of the best and most talented writers and poets who have all been inspired and encouraged me to become a better writer. I'm overwhelmed and surprised by the 10 wins I've received in the past two months.

    You have been a wonderful reviewer of my poems and writings and I appreciate your help and encouragement in helping me to achieve success.

    All the best,

    Eugene

You used the waltz as the perfect metaphor for a love story in this contest entry. How wonderful and romantic. They rhyming was perfect too. I enjoyed the entire experience of reading this entry. Good luck with the contest.

This is a very rhyming poem. Your poem like you childrens stories are a pleasure to read. This should do well in the rhyming poetry contest. Dance is form of art that lends itself well to romance.

Your verse is beautifully 'embraced' in sonnet form, Eugene! Its musical cadence seems perfect for the theme of dance as well as poetry in general (the two seemingly overlapping). Thanks for sharing and good luck! Debbie

Eugene is back in the FanStory house! Beautifully written and presented rhyming poem! Wowzers! Looks like a blue ribbon winner to me. So romantic too. A virtual ***six*** for today with compliments.

Sending you my best today as always, and best wishes for the upcoming contest.
Sally :))
