I like that last line, "your heart the midway prize" - what a lovely thought. We used to love to wander the fair (it was a couple blocks from our house back then) - what great fun to wander with a group of friends. Sometimes a boyfriend. Altho can't recall a boy winning me a prize, that's for sure.
Your poem wins a prize - nicely

This is beautiful, clever, romantic, and well thought out. I like the superb way that you rhymed skies and prize. Cotton candy kisses is an excellent way to describe some tender, sweet kisses. I like this and enjoyed reading this well written work. Well done.

This concise (as required by prompt) poem is very lovely and well-written.
You have made excellent use of colorful expressions, and the alliteration enhances the overall effect of the piece.

This is a short and simple love poem using a lot of alliteration to show how deep the feelings are.
Hope it did well in the prompt.
Keep writing.

Fifteen words right on the spot, and rhyming, no less.
What an attractive presentation, and how creative to make the cotton candy line just the right color, too, and highlighted by your perfect picture choice.

If this doesn't do well, the judges need new glasses.
Thank you ever-so gratefully for sharing! ~ Richard : )

A very well-written love poem. Sometimes people make no secret of their feelings towards one another in public and the world can see the love and romance before them blossom.

This work has reached the exceptional level

This is such a perfect poem. The sentiment is charming and romantic, and it's expressed in superb poetic form, using rhyme and alliteration. The photo and color scheme complement it beautifully. Between the content and layout, I found it hard to believe this was only a 15-word poem. You've done an excellent job!

    Hooray!! Oh My Goodness, Michele, you just made my day!! I am a simple romantic....not all the heavy words and thoughts -- those little things mean so very much! Thank you for such a lovely review!!

    You're very welcome. I didn't even mention your lovely use of metaphor. FYI, I have an entry in the contest as well, but I voted for your poem over my own. I felt mine was good, but yours was better.

Excellent love poem entry about the experience of genuine love at Atlantic City, New Jersey. I have heard about it but never been there. Brings up memories of cotton candy.

Nice thoughts but far to sappy and cliche for my tastes. I don't think romantic poems should be so blunt, but much more subtle and cleverly crafted. There should be more down to earth and description used. Something far more realistic and relatable to everyday life.
