wow, this is powerfully done, Lance,
I find that emotional poetry, without getting sappy,
is a very wonderful technique and grabs the reader.
Many can really taste the pain.
Well done and congratulations on your honorable mention.

Really all you need to do is make her feel like she's the center of your world. Us women aren't that complicated. Give us attention, cook for us, tell us we're beautiful everyday, and buy us something special where we're having a bad day. It doesn't even have to cost a lot. Just the fact that you went out of your way, that's what we love. Hang onto her and know how blessed you both are :)

Hi Lance,

This is such a beautiful presentation. I love the etheree form. Each succinct syllable must be chosen with precision for the greatest impact. How wonderful that she makes you want to be more than you are.

Good luck in the contest.

Excellent Etheree Poem format. The romantic mood is sustained all through the poem. "Seizing my soul" is a lovely phrase. You really show the gal's impact on the narrator. She has captivated him and is an angel of grace in his eyes. She is literally the sun and moon to him. If she surpasses being a mortal, the narrator wishes the same were true of him. But he is stuck in reality. Very beautiful and appropriate wording. judi

This is lovely Lance. Both the presentation and the
sentiment of admiring someone that you know can never be
yours, but when she is near the whole world stops and
you can marvel in her beauty and grace. Well done. Nancy

Torn between 4 and five, but settled on five after a day's break. Came back today and reread. Very subtle,this poem. After a second cup of coffee, read it again and something clicked...do not ask what.
Finished my coffee and paused, fingers resting on the keyboard...it's a fiver for sure.

Magical words and glittering presentation. The etheree form is ideal for romantic poetry, and you've made a beautiful job of this one about an unreachable woman.
Thank you for sharing this lovely poem.

Excellent etheree that has a perfect shape :) The angel in the picture looks like Angela Jolie to me. I love that you put the poem on the picture. The stars of the picture are dazzling. This is a lovely presentation that wraps up your contest entry like a beautiful white bow :) Best wishes in the contest.

Very original and lovely. I really like the way you integrated the poem into the photo. It gives it a lot of style which adds strength to the easy flowing words. The poem itself have been done in very crafty words. Thanks for sharing.
