I enjoyed reading your Quatrain poem. It is well written and it flows and rhymes well. Interesting title, subject and artwork choice. Good alliteration of words femme fatale, the tide, turned toward, stood still and walk with.

    I am delighted you enjoyed the poem and appreciate your very kind praise. "Angie" in the poem--any relation to you?

This one seems to fit the rules pretty well. Rhyme scheme is abab and the meter is iambic tetrameter. My UK English caused me to stumble somewhat on the final line of the third stanza unti lI realised that you were probably treating toward as a single syllable word. It scans fine if you are.

    Thank you for sharing my poem and your kind feedback. Yes, in the UK "toward" is pronounced as two syllables, but in the Midwest of the U.S. where I live it rhymes with "sword."

    I had a feeling that must be the case.

Yours is a well-written poem that takes me back to when I was a young whippersnapper. I too was smitten when I first laid eyes on my wife of almost 50 years now. It seems like yesterday. Any poem that takes me back to then deserves five stars. Well done.

    As you might imagine, Cookie, the artwork inspired the poem. What young man could resist the girl in the painting? Thanks for sharing.

A very well-written quatrain. Good rhyming was used and a very imaginative subject. When Angie the angel suddenly appears.

A very pretty poem in words and design. The pink is soft and feminine like she is. The ocean in the background is a pleasant environmental addition. I like everything about this poem
and it flows well.

Looks like the stoic, emotionless man does have a heart that seems to overcome the musings of the mind. Great piece with perfect picture to emphasise the theme. We like to think that logic reigns supreme but after all that we're only kidding ourselves. Well done.

this is what poetry should be. Nice easy rhymes. Perfect cadence. A good read with a story to tell. You could write an instruction manual.
