Excellent antonym poem.
You completed the requirements beautifully.
Good rhyming with the second and third line.

Well done and good luck in the contest.

well done execution of prompt requirements. Poem definitely works. Not sure I like the internal rhymes with theme, dream, and scheme. When poems are so short such devices can be overwhelming. It's just a question of taste. Good luck in the contest...

I love the way you handled the prompt, taking love and in two lines, turning it to hate. Nicely done. The meaning is clearly delineated, and the transition smooth. What a great job,
Rhonda

Your second line is particularly strong in describing 'love'. The internal rhyme and the idea that love evolves from a hope from heaven make this very lyrical and satisfying for the reader. The 'hate' comparison to what lurks in destruction's dreams is so true, and completes the antonym challenge perfectly. You deserve to do well given the depth you've achieved with this.

I've never really understood the concept of a "love - hate" relationship. I can see where people start out thinking their in love, and it turns to hate. I believe that a person can become possessive, and that can change everything. It is something to fear, and to avoid. This is my take on your poem. Good luck

Very nicely done. This antonym poem is a new format to me, but you seem to have mastered it exquisitely. The love and hate juxtaposition blended in well in a single theme. You even included outstanding in-line rhyme: theme, dreams, schemes.should be a winner. Good luck in the contest.

I like the way you did the antonym in this poem. You do have the exact at the beginning and the end, ones that can be the two sides of a coin. One can turn into the other over time, but I think that only goes one way. Love may turn to hate but I don't think it will work the other way.

This is a telling entry of how love and hate can be so opposite. They say opposites attract, but I have no attraction to those who are always complaining about something or someone they hate. Haters turn me off big time.

Love and hate are not only good examples of antonym but also they are extreme emotions experienced commonly in life. Your poem nicely shows how differently they impact life.
