A very well-written lune about pulling the heartstrings that will be a forever bond as soon as the connection is made. Very good artwork to complement your poem.

Ciao mystery poet. I gave you your second vote.

I'm addicted to films with sad endings and I love sad music too ...especially country and Greek.

The melody and words of this song are melancholic. ..

The singer is homesick and come spring when the snow melts she and her lover will be homebound to where the snow-white cotton grows.

One of my all time favourite sad songs is "Snowbird" have you heard it? ..I often play the 45 single on my father's record player.

Alas, submission can be beautiful as well at times! Or that at least, is my interpretation of this one. If you love someone, and I mean really love someone, it is okay to tether yourself to them and let them bind you under their spell. The most freeing and frightening part of love after-all, are trust and submission! Best wishes for the contest! Cheers

I believe you have followed all of the requirements for a 5-3-5 lune.

I enjoyed your wordplay on the second line.

Best of luck in the lune contest.

I see your boots are on and there's no contest you're not ready for. This is a wonderful lune and I wonder as I look at your lovely offering, why haven't I composed one? I will enjoy yours instead. A winner for the contest I see.
Sending you my best today as always,
Sal xoxoxo

Simply put in a few short lines, but the sentiments are far reaching. Forever is a long time to be tethered. But if it's the right heart- the bond will be unbreakable,

This is a beautifully written and well presented lune.

Love the touch of alliteration. Enough to enhance but not to overwhelm.

I admire the way you extend the metaphor throughout the write as you demonstrate the closeness of romantic love.

Best of luck in the contest.

Blessings Julia

Oh this one is good. I love the lunes I've been reading but this one is inspirational and a beautiful presentation too. Love the alliteration with the "T" in first line. It sets the mood. Good luck.

    Thank you sincerely! These are far more difficult to creatively write than one might think because they are short, and harder to review, so, I truly appreciate you took the time to do so. Feedback is so helpful to me! xoxo

Hi, good Lune poem. It appears to meet the criteria. I think 'taut' is a strange word to use in connection with love. I immediately wanted to be uncoupled, when I read it. Too tight, perhaps. And tethered is also an interesting word to use. So, that's good, original.

Interesting poem that has been beautifully presented, cheers, Eve.

    Thank you so much. I thought it a bit different to use tautly rather than tightly. Tightly is a little more common! Appreciate your feedback! xoxo
