A very well done poem. Your words flowed well and it was clear and easy to understand. I like that your poem is deep and a little sad (though not too sad). Lots of emotion.

The Pantoum is an interesting format -intricate and concise to convey and emphasise the 'message'- love will out and find expression 'I can't refuse to follow love's design'- I love the notion of the inevitability of Love! Such a cute pic

Dear Brooke,
This was a very well-executed pantome sonnet. Nice IP throughout and a compelling message. A ladies' man? Looks like I've got some competition:) All the best--Ted

Whata sweet poem. Trust and giving one's heart are very basic acts that are sometimes extremely hard to do. Great flow to this. Liked the emotional appeal in this. Great job.

It is in this form that I find the most exquisite music when a poet as fine as you are composes...my sigh is one of pure joy in reading this beauty! THIS is romance at its best!

This was sweet. Still in the philosophizing mood I see. You are absolutely right we can not avoid love and it conquer even the most resistant heart. Lovely photo goes well with poem. Gentle, contemplative tone. Best of luck in the contest...

Absolutely a great work of art here.
I usually turn my nose up to the whole over done love theme
but I'm glad i gave this one a chance.
You nailed it.

This a beautiful heartfelt poem. Even though you used your two favorite models to illustrate, this is a poem that I am sure will resonate with all or at least most of the adults who read it. It most certainly touched my heart to its very core. This is wonderful work. Congratulations.

AHHHHHHHHHHH, I enjoyed reading your very strong contest entry. It's a fun poem and love is fragile and often we're afraid to entrust it to others. Good luck with the contest.
