This is a a lovely and tastefully written poetry piece on the passion of love. Rhyme is wonderful and with one little suggested tweak the rhythm adds to a perfect flow. My suggestion is the 4th line of the third stanza... instead of using "suddenly," I might suggest replacing it with "For that's when..." or "And that's when..." It may be just the way I'm reading it, but the word "suddenly" places accent on the 1st syllable of the word and to me, it would be a smoother line if the accent is on the third syllable of the line (or the word "when"). Good luck in the contest. This is definitely my favorite!

This is a well written outline of passionate love. It flows smoothly and well and the rhyming is also smooth and unforced. The image of a landscape is a good choice. Well done and best wishes.

The poem is indeed compliant with contest requirements!
The presentation graphically adheres to the "black and white" prompt.
Rhyming and rhythm are excellent. The format is of a high standard and the words are artfully contrived for the pinnacle embrace.
Thank you for sharing
Best wishes for the contest

To comment on love poems is somewhat a little embarrassing when it's get's a person blushing. Love is a gift from God. Love can't be described. It has no shape, it has no form. Love is not an object. It is a feeling.

This is a beautifully written poem. The sentiment is eloquently expressed and suggests rather than blares the direction that it takes. Great rhyme scheme. The rhythm is smooth and sensual. Your imagery is vivid without being in your face. Very well done.

A nicely done poem about barely suppressed passion. The Speaker describes how his lover's landscape is irresistible. You give us just enough details to kindle our imaginations.
