I enjoyed your 575 poem, Melissa. Good job on its style--the syllable count is correct per line. The picture is great, too. I hope this is biographical. Thanks for sharing. Jan

Yes!! You've described it perfectly! (Have we met?) I do like this 5-7-5 very much and think it is a great vote-magnet. It is poetic and real and imaginative all at once. Nice work, and I hope I'm right about the votes. MM

    Thanks so much, Adonna. I wanted to give a nod to Valentines Day and thought this contest might do the trick. I do appreciate the read and review.

What a delightful, loving poem. This could be on a Hallmark Valentine's Day card. I would buy it. It is the truth as well. When you first fall in love, it does feel like the earth is shaking.
Good job.

Falling in love on the 4th of July? lol, I get your meaning well, good use of the 5-7-5 format, good imagery in the poem and good affects on the senses. I enjoyed reading it.

This really spoke to me. This doesn't feel contrived at all as some of the set syllable poems sometimes do. I've been married almost 48 years and still have these feelings. I love your poem.

Wow! When I fell in love my husband, all I could think was, "Thank goodness, he has hair!" I love this sweet poem and the beautiful artwork. Good luck in the contest, this should be a good entry.

A very well-written 5-7-5 poem about the first time we fall in love when we see the stars in the sky falling down on us. It is one of the most wonderful emotions to be in love.

I have a suggestion for a word change that I hope you'll see would make a meaningful improvement: Remove the comma, and replace 'this' with 'says', and, voila! - you have a declaration of love from your heart.
Good luck in the contest!
Don

Well done on this 5-7-5 poem. The syllables are there and the poem matches the title nicely. The bursting heart goes nicely with the picture. This little piece made my heart happy. Good job :)
