Exceptional

Ah a great picture to complement fluid and colourful wording that entices emotionally in way that captivates the reader, draw them to the story of a love in motion perhaps to be lost and cast free, if only they were honest with themselves, but like so many in this big old wide world, some simply will not let go and like the famous song... love will tear us apart! Great poem, word usage and magnificent artwork make this a six star for me and good luck in that competition :)

"I wish that you'd be true to you
and finish this facade."

Debra...the above line is one of those that stopped me in my tracks as I thought "wish I'd come up with something that cutting edge and perfect!"

Bottom line, which you've captured masterfully--is beyond any betrayal or hurt--we love the person being disloyal-- If we're honest, we want them to be happy.

Hi Debra, Yes I agree as this image does portray that she doesnt want to ne woth him as my post Red and Blue also wrote of a similar vein. My only comment is in your last two lines you change to the third person i.e and free yourself to be with him Is the first stanza written from the first person You no longer meet my gaze
meaning Is the blue guy speaking to her.? A little confused bit ai like the overall poem Cheers Chris

Hi Chris, Thank you for your feedback. The poem is written in the first person (the blue guy) the whole way through. - He is talking to his girlfriend (the red girl).

Blue guy knows that red girl has a lover. He just wants her to admit it and move on, even though he loves her.

Hope that clears it up.... sorry if it was confusing :)

Best wishes as always, Debra

This is a perfect compliment for the Pix This challenge. You absolutely nailed it! Funny thing, I read it before analyzing the artwork and initially thought the female was the POV and he had left her for a him. Which happens, but a better look revealed she was looking away. Great offering!

I've enjoyed reading the various 'takes' on this artwork. It was a great choice for a challenge. It takes courage to break away from a relationship but best to get it over and done with.

I love the words in your poem it is perfect for the artwork.
You capture the emotion in the woman face in your words.
That is something I missed. And that is something I always study when wring a pix poem.
Thank you for sharing.

Although I love the picture, I hadn't paid close attention to the expression on their faces till I read your poem. And I think your interpretation is spot on.
Thanks for making me realize what this picture could really be about. The bright colors had blinded me.
Great post. Thanks.
