Lovely, old mate. Not sure if we can indicate who we is or what. have not read anything from you in ages. Actually have not seen you reading anything of ours either for that matter. Hope all is well. Getting a other Chapter of our trips up after I finish here to get some more points for promotion hehe. Love you mate. Tell Donna hullo.

I am rather averse to free verse or blank verse, I usually can not make head nor tale of it. I understand you are regaling in the delights of love, while at the same time ruing the pitfalls of a passionate relationship. It is not my intention to offend you, I assure you, but I much prefer your rhyming verse which I can always understand well. I am just being honest. You are an excellent writer. As you can see I am my usual rebellious self, having an afternoon rant because I worry that my precious classical poetry might become extinct. You haven't reviewed any of my poems in a long time, I am not complaining, I know you are very busy. Good luck in the contest. Faye

A love poem of a different flavor indeed.
Nicely done dear friend.
A play on the unknown made even more mysterious and a little scary.
A sure winner

Comment from Gloria ....
Yowza, that's some pretty cool art there. It looks like a girl writing up a storm of some pretty fiery poetry and she is so engrossed she doesn't even notice.
Oh yea, the poem. Uh... You probably won't survive but it doesn't seem like that's a problem for you which is the good news.
Don't you love it when you're so close to someone you can't tell where your's ends and their's begins?
Roller Coasters are a blast when you're youngish and not so much fun when you're oldish. Isn't it enough to go in circles on a little Ferris Wheel ride?
Oh well, you've got the right attitude. When you reach the end of your cliff -- JUMP.
I'm certain Cat will love your beautiful response to her poem.
Best wishes to you in the contest.

"I needn't clasp your hand tightly
they have melded
a young person plunges forth unknowing, compelled"
What a powerful, moving love poem, Mikey!
Love must be one of the most intoxicating things in this world..(I realize from all the stories and poems I've read so far)
I'm an extremely awkward person, and I can't handle something as deadly as love.
Haha

One typo: LOVE KNOWS (NO) AGE

Excellent artwork that complements your poem perfectly. You held her hand, and could not see where yours or hers ended. Clouds tickled you. And there was loads of chemistry. You still choose love in spite of all. A good entry for the love poem contest, original too.

Well, I must say that this is one beautiful free verse offering. I do find it in league with Cats piece. I suggest you read a lot more of her work and respond. She is a great muse for you. Not sure if this will top her in the contest, but I would not be surprised to see both pieces in the win column.

This is a compelling write that takes the reader on the roller coaster ride with you, all the thrills, fears and elation there as well as the chemistry, truth and dangers of love. The form you built into the poem enhances the effect. My favorite verse is "this is from a cliff... with its striking images "sharp spikes of crystalline truth ..." Exceptionally well written. Good luck in the contest.

This is very well done. Do I spot a little Dean influence in this work? :) Anyway, you have done a good job. Good luck.
Take care.
