Comment from Rubylou

Excellent

While the format of your poem meets the rules, it is the message in your poem that struck me. I like how you touched upon the source of love that draws the theme and how hate comes from lurking in destruction.

There is always a root to ones path and the image you selected points this out clearly to compliment your work. (At least that's what I gleaned from reading.)

The association of love-heaven and destruction-hate has worked wonderfully. The tremendous power in love and hate too has been conveyed beautifully. This format in not very easy to write in. You have done justice to it. Well done and all the best for the contest.

Yes, sometimes opposites don't attract but my husband and I are opposites and we do amazing together. We have never had a screaming argument. We bicker and get on each other nerves but we're really like an old married couple. Great job

I enjoyed reading this and the antonym is a favorite of mine. You have pulled together the concepts of love and hate very successfully. Thanks for sharing!

Love is def the positive opposite of hate. Your second and third stanza are on point for the creative description you provided for love and hate.

The extremes of any continuum are the basis of the basic good versus evil. God, Satan, love, hate, happy sad, etc. The issue is the extreme good virtue, God, love and so forth can not have any chinks or it make it flawed. Evil run the entire length with varying degrees of good and evil, and we get seduced to compromise. I like your poem. I think it works.

I am missing your normal full length rhyming poems, Roy. I don't like to write things like haikus or such like, I like to get my teeth into a theme, it is not a criticism, just my thoughts. I have never heard of this poetic form before. Well chosen words and good clear message. Good luck in the contest. Faye
