I agree with your words! In literal terms yes, love can not move mountains even though some people like to claim it can! Love is very much a force of nature as well and it can move mountains metaphorically! Good luck for the contest! Cheers

Read it twice and came up with two different reasons, but the piece is excellently thought up and love as high as a mountain surely does encompass everyone. Nicely done

This is a very lovely message. Love can almost do everything. Not sure about your syllable count. I could be wrong but I thought entirety was 4
syllables.

Love can move mountains but also can make you go in circles wearing pink glasses and saying"Ya man, life is good!" Thank you for sharing and good luck with the contest.

K,

I agree that love can pierce the fiercest, tallest, widest, wildest mountain - but I might just have to disagree that love isn't able to move one. 'Can't' is a big, solid word when there are lots and lots and LOTS of mountains in this world. *smile*

Just in my own life, I've seen some pretty amazing things.

I might be more inclined to use some variation of 'rarely'. But I do understand your message.

Your syllable count is just right -- though I had to go look up 'entirety' - here in the South, it's four all by itself! hahaha I looked at two sites AND had them pronounce it for me --> they did it both ways, so I'm sure you're good. (Some of them must be from the South, too!)

This should be a great entry. It's smart and makes the reader think and meets the requirements. Great job. Good luck!

    Thank you very much, I also had to check the syllables, and I agree can't is a big word, just thought I would look at love differently, it was fun, much appreciated

A very well-written 5-7-5 about love of the human kind is not able to move mountains but they can circles their entirety and touch everyone's heart.

This is a short and sweet poem which well meets the contest guidelines. The topic is romantic. I think it would have a better ring if the second line read "It circles their entirety."
