Very sweet and to the point; I liked this! The picture so appropriate with the heart standing out so red and bright as it is sitting on the rough edges as you say in your poem. Good luck with the contest!

This says a lot. Love is what matters, and it can be there even when everything else is rough going. Best of luck in the contest. You don't need to place a comma after but. If you use a comma, it would come before the conjunction. judi

This love poem is concise, but its few words convey a clear and moving
message about love's capacity to heal, to smooth out rough edges.
No comma called for after "but"

A sweet loving poem and your rhymes flow well and they are inventive too, even though 'edges' and 'matters' don't really rhyme together . . . It works! Love Dolly x

I hope your love will always be true, for hearts that flutter around are silent and as they tiptoe through the tulips they leave their prints in the land. Melissa I like your love poem. This is a good entry for the Love Poem Poetry Contest.
