That Sawyer does get around! I really like how you use tech to describe this winsome fellow: his smile, his love for others, and the overall effect he has on the Speaker.
Good rhymes throughout and a very even flow to your meter.
Nice use of semi-refrain "There is no way/need to calculate."
A clear message to those we love and who love us.

Great picture inspired poem. Good choice of words with math metaphor: calculate, sum, numbers. A unique approach to a contest where entries are often trite.

Very good and very true. Numbers and words are usually creations of logic and reason. Those take time, but emotions are raw, primal and come from someplace that defies waiting or thinking. Nicely said.

Your right there is no equation for love. I like the flow of your poem. Nice picture but I don't feel it does your poem justice. Thanks for sharing

I love the consistency in your aab rhyme scheme. The immense power / value of love is incalculable.
'for feelings never hesitate,
and there's no need to calculate
a love that cannot be denied' - like grandma's.
Well done.
