Considering the intent of your poem and the rather constrained format, I think you did rather well with it. Not my usual cup of tea, but you did really well. Good luck with the contest.

I love the comparison/metaphor of love lifting you as high as a soaring bird. Anyone can ramble on to get a point across in a written piece, but you managed to do this with this wonderful short poem. I wish you lots of luck with the contest!

You have certainly written an evocative poem with your nine simple words. I could feel the strong emotion of love and enjoyed your bit of alliteration. Best wishes in the contest.

Not sure about what the hail means on the birds wings? I like your thought how she hoping and looking to find love. Good write and thought.

That, my dear friend, is what I call a short poem. Yet your few words have such a poignant and beautiful ring to it. I would imagine the date of this piece means a lot to you.
Warmest regards and good luck in the contest.

To me faith and love have always gone 'hand in hand' as I don't see how you can have one without the other Your little poem sums this up beautifully. The picture is a good foil for your writing. It also looks very "Englishy" - am I right?

I like the coupling of faith and love because true, committed love really does require a big leap of faith, and I love the choice of blooms as the verb, such a positive word - and then to introduce birds into the setting - quite romantic :-) Good luck in the short love poem contest. Brooke

Not quite getting this... use of the word 'blooms' which you then relate to birds is not an allusion i relate to. It's quite likely I'm just dumb!
