Who knows the lasting length of Cupid's darts ?
...Summer's love shortly live within its season and then it withered softly and dies
within its wintry coat. I do love the last stanza's natural metaphorical icy lost.
Thanks for the reading and good luck for the contest.

Ahhh - your love drifted into nothing. Sad poem sort of. Sounds as if your stumble changed summer into winter. We've spun right into winter here also - skipping most things autumn. Snow coming. Rather early -
Nice poem.

I love this work, it's not at all Gooey like a lot of romance poetry, it's just the right flavour for both the language which is a rich blend of both pathos and beauty. Well done, an excellent entry in this contest, good luck, blessings, Roy

I enjoyed reading this romantic poem for the contest. Great metaphor about the summer turning to winter as the genuine love died, probably due to indiscretion. Thanks for sharing your creativity.

The bliss and beauty when we find love soon fades into despair and longing when we lose it. I see this in your poem and I commend you for your well written poem. The picture is a compliment to your words.

Your poem has a softness to us a gentle beat, a carefree song, a floating dance. I adore the last stanza, you took me to another place with these words, much enjoyed, love Dolly x

Good luck in the contest. I'm wondering if the lifelong love walked away?
Very descriptive to start with, jumping to describing nature and a wintry summer. I liked it, through me a bit when it went to nature. A good entry for the Romance Poetry.

This is an excellent entry for the contest, well meeting the criteria as laid out in the guidelines. It speaks of a romance which heated up and then cooled again for some imperceptible reason. Maybe the speaker was too quick to jump in without looking. Well done.

A very well-written romance poem about a special lover who can make our winters sunny with their smile when they break up with us our summer becomes wintry without their smile.
