Goodness me, that was brilliant! You have rhymed a poem that to me is almost impossible to write. (At least for me!) And it makes sense, love is as you describe, and hate is a very destructive emotion. Very well done and an excellent entry for the contest. xsx Sandra

An intriguing piece. Is there any reason why we can't have richer imagery and not abstracts, in spite of the length. E.G. By Ezra Pound.
" I have held the lady of life,/ I, even I who have flown with the swallows." Abstracts are short cuts in poetry. -Ekim777

You did an excellent job with this prompt. The segue from the second to third lines is quite effective.

I like the internal rhyme in the second line and the use of the strong verb, "lurks."

Great job. Good luck in the contest.

How thin the line between love and hate. One who has loved deeply can truly hate just as deeply. Many of our most hated rivals are people who once loved us dearly. Our failure to act in a like matter has turned that love into deep, deep hatred. Being an object of someone's love is a heavy burden, many of us are not up to the task.

I like the artwork you choose for your poem
it is a perfect match. Just looking a it you can tell what your write is about with love there will be ups and down until one has enough and that sweet heart is cut loose.

This is an extremely interesting poem that the author has created with this piece of writing. It is true that love can conquer everything, but sometimes loveisn't even given a chance.

This antonym poem, Love Draws Themes, provides a nice rhyming couplet in between the extremes that gives your poem a nice posture.

Excellent poem. I enjoyed reading your rhyming Antonym poem.

Love
will draw its theme from Heaven's dreams
that which lurks in destruction's schemes
hate.

Hi. Well you did the rules on this prompt proud. Good luck in the contest. I might put a little punctuation in it, just to make it clearer or cleaner, but that just may be my own stumbling..
