Good alliteration and a strong rhyme scheme. The poem has a universal theme all can relate to and is bound to do well. Good work - you're an excellent writer on so many fronts, Pete

Yes, tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all. The memories of lost love can carry you thought some very dark times, I know. When you have a love like that, you wouldn't trade that time for anything, even if you knew how it was going to end.
Well done.

You do know Mikey that blue is the colour of true love, eh? So you've picked the right colours, and I love that vivid blue. And what a smart idea putting the title right inside the poem. I think I shall copycat you on that.

You are such a romantic, you. And here I thought you were just a taking care of business kind of guy so it's always a pleasure to see a man writing some pretty darn good romance poetry. And a perfect minute.

Love it! Best wishes to you in the contest, my friend.

Gloria

I guess even heartache and loss
can have a silver lining. . .
and truth be told,
no tears or moaning will change a thing
so you might as well
sing and dance
for the times you had
and the memories :-)

I concur, Mikey. Why cry over lost love? It's far too detrimental to our well-being to dwell on such things, isn't it? Best just to remember and reminisce about the good times you both shared, then move on down the road. There's a big, wide, wonderful world just waiting to be explored.

Great poem--perfect minute form with a stunning presentation to accompany it.

Good luck!

Mikey;
-you've done very well by meeting the requirements for a minute poem in effect your rhyming words are contingent to the meaning and concept of each line therefore making the rhythm to flow smoothly. Also your rhyming was neither forced nor labored which also was helpful.
-Once you had it all more than any other man, a love so fair and reciprocated in return Only to be left in dismay with just memories.
-Good luck in the contest and may the good Lord be with you always Mikey.

I must say that I usually do not care for this form, but somehow you have given this a smooth flow. The meaning is so uplifting and positive in spite of the theme. Exceptional.
