This work has reached the exceptional level

Hi Erika
I like the repetition of the rhymes and lines with slight changes to show a wish from a reality. A dream that has come true as the second stanza says.
Congrats on the contest win.
Keep writing and stay healthy
Have a great weekend
Joan

Congrats on your contest win, Erika! You've taken on a difficult challenge and clearly mastered it with your lovely, romantic love poem. I like the way you've used the same rhyming words in both stanzas (apart from the last lines). I think this gives your verse additional fluency and fun. Thank you for sharing your magical delight. Debbie

Ciao mystery poet, you now have 15 votes.

This contest was not easy seeing many key words like love , kiss and sexual terms were not allowed.

Your poem was inventive

Some of my favourite segments / lines were:

A twirl, a pivot, a song in tune
A sweet escape, a dream come true
Two butterflies fly through shades of blue.

Two pinkies crossed, seals the pact


A delightful read!

    Very much indeed.

    I took a pic of it with my phone so
    I can read it now and then at pleasure 😁

    I forgot to mention that I?m a big fan of black backgrounds and the blue you used is striking.
    Keep safe ! 🍀

    I'm flattered!
    Oh this is actually my first time changing the color of the font and background. I'm glad it's well received!

Author,
You followed the contest rules, and wrote a poem that truly shines. It's a difficult task to describe love and passion without using the words: kiss, soul, etc.
Awesome poem!
Good luck with this one!
Cindy

I think the second part was a perfect answer to the first part. You did a great job writing the love poem without the "forbidden" words. Thank you for sharing, and best wishes to you.
