What a fun, delicious poem. From Tarzania to Windsor Castle and to the shores of Hawaii you have sm¶rg¥sbord of yummy love treats. For Valentine's day your chocolate-covered love sounds like a heavy conteder for the contest. Sorry, my sixes have been spent. Superb! Les

Oh, Sharyn this is heavenly. Next weekend, I'm going to a Chocolate Festival. While I'm enjoying all the luscious and velvety treats as they linger on my tongue.
I will be remembering the
perfect chocolate-covered love ...

Bring on the chocolate!

Janet :-)

Exceptional

Darn it Sharyn I think just reading this I gained two pounds on my butt!! Still this is a delight to read aloud for sure. And your a pro at wit and charming yet powerful message.

Guess I must now go and work off those pounds. Bring on the firefighters. Actually I haven't found any...but cute cowboy Casanovas :)

Exceptional work this is worthy of a six plus.
Thanks for sharing it.
Maureen

Lovely! A six from you is worth all that chocolate, Maureen ... I'm going on a diet today anyway, right? (And forget firefighters, though they're cute ... cowboys too ... I've discovered cute surfer dudes!)

Seriously, bless you for your appreciation and for that lovely six, Maureen! How are YOU doing?

:)Sharyn

crud. I wrote a long review and lost it when I fanned you. Anyway, great piece - it is clear that you have a love of language and back that with the knowledge/instinct of how to use words. exotic words mixed in add zest and spice. great rhythm and playfulness throughout.

thx so much rb - just return fanned you - LOVE it when someone understands poetry as something to be read & performed, not just cerebrally absorbed.
Blessings,

You certainly have traveled the world over to see to it that his every need is met. I wonder if he will appreciate it and return the favor? I loved seeing where you went and the tricks you used to obtain your goal. Sigh, oh well, it's only once a year. Why not?

Good Morning, Sharyn

I enjoyed your poem about what you're willing
to do for the one you love. Your examples are
fun, well presented and made me smile and
laugh at times. Good luck at getting the roses
from the Queen's garden!

A wonderful poem! thanks for sharing
Ray

thx so much Beth - somehow I managed to slip up (or the edit program did!) and it didn't get into the contest, would you believe? I'll probably have to write something ELSE, DAMMIT! :)s

Good luck in the next contest:) Beth fairy77.

this poem provides the reader with a tasty treat, and the beautiful imagery adds to the flavour and richness of both the poem and the poet(they have to be rich to afford all this travelling!) if possible i would also award this poem with 5 yum yum stars!
