Excellent. I remember the feelings of first love or lust or just extreme admination. I didn't know the difference at fourteen, but I was absolutely besotted by what I thought to be love. Your poem is a very sweet look at young love and an excellent contest entry. Best of luck with this gentle write. Blessings, Linda

Great tectractys form - for the moment our desire discerns not the difference - it is amazing how the morality police continue to perpetuate the myth that lovemaking can't be truly pleasurable without some lifelong, dramatic commitment - you are ever so right about this! I love the repeated D sounds in the final line that helps emphasize the message.

Nice job, both with the form and in capturing a truth, or what I suspect is a truth, anyway. I find the last line a little awkward, but I think that is mostly a function of the form. It is very hard to leap from 1-2-3-4 to 10.
Happy Valentine's Day to you and yours.

Absolutely beautiful. This is one of the best I have read that expresses passion and romance. So few words to speak such a large truth. Excellent.

Hi Sue...I know the contest is over and sadly neither one of us won. What's up with that anyway? I just came across your poem and I wanted you to know I think it is lovely. In the beginning it is always about lust! Blessings....chey

Yes, our chemicals do the talking first. Ha!! Yeah, what's up with us both not in a tie for the win? :-) Thanks so much for your great review. I do love a tetractys! I don't even remember if I reviewed yours. Will have to check. I don't know what I'm going to do with my bulging "inbox"!! Much appreciated, Sue

Ah, but so many fall prey to this trap. Hormones overriding rational thought. Does it start with lust and go to love? When we see people, is it the beauty or beast that we look at before digging inside? I would say, as far as society goes, that's generally the case, for what man/woman would approach an ugly person with romatic thoughts? Great job on this poem!
