This is a very lovely, romantic poem. You have made excellent use of vivid, specific details to describe physical traits and their allure for the speaker,
who is mesmerized.

I enjoyed your contest entry, Mystery Author. Your lines flow smoothly with great imagery of the one you love. I like the scattered rhymes. Is this format a certain style? Thanks for sharing and best wishes. Respectfully, Jan

Any writer unable to meet this challenge should go back to the table and practice his/her craft a little bit more. I am not saying it's easy, but it obviously is doable as you've just proven. Good work

    Nomi, my friend, I certainly agree, I hope the winds have settled and the fires diminished out your way.

What a lovely poem that presents love in all its glory. This is the way we should feel about someone who means so much to us in that special way. All lovers are perfect, tall and strong, or delidcate and sweet. Just a delightful write.

Hi There,
your poem is perfect for the specifications on this contest. You have avoided those specific words that you would normally find in a romance poem, and yet it doesn't feel like it is missing anything. The strong sense of feeling and romance in this tells the reader exactly how the author is feeling.
A lovely piece to read.

You did a splendid job without all the accouterments that are prohibited in this writing. So, it really can be done as you articulately proved. The picture is an added enhancement.

What a wonderful poem of adoration while omitting all of those required words -- great job! ;) :) Thanx for sharing and best of luck at the polls! ;)

This is a very well written love poem you have penned without using the words: love, kiss, romance, heart, boy/girl husband or wife, or sexual terms. I think you did a really nice job on writing this. Very interesting imagery you have used. Blessings, Teri

The contest certainly conveys the essence of love and is really well executed. Unfortunately, there is a list of words that cannot be used and the fact that you used one is a flaw.
I stopped with this line since the use of the word "heart" disqualifies it:
"carries my heart bounding". Good luck in the voting and thank you very much for sharing it.

    We all do it. I'm just glad it was caught and fixed for you early as many would have read it and just let it slide by knowing it was flawed. I don't roll that way LOL.
