I love the picture. I love the poem. We often show our love first with our hands. Our hands should never become a fist before we touch a loved one. It makes our first gentle touches in to a lie Great work. Good luck with the contest.

Definitely light and sweet. Romance lies inside this non-rhymed poem. The image of the "heart bird hopping within my chest" is a fresh way of describing how the heart behaves when its owner is in love.

Some thing, very few but some things, last a lifetime. Your love in one of those fortunate things. Excellent imagery in your poem - a sweetness in gently kissing her hand. Best of luck in the contest with this short, sweet entry.

It's true. You never forget your first kiss and the details that surrounded it. This poem coveys that same message, only far more eloquently, through a wonderful, lighthearted write about a nostalgic time such as this.

Wonderfully done. I wish you the best of luck in the contest.

I loved your light romantic touch in this poem and it should be exactly what they want. Your picture is exquisite and very suitable for the poem you wrote. Good luck in the competition.

You sex fiend, you!
Sorry, the the theme is light and sweet, so you did well to feel so deeply about kissing her fingers on the beach. Seriously, this is a very evocative poem, and does take the reader to the tryst immediately. The love is simple, but intense, and the romantic tone is not compromised by the actions being 'light'. I loved:Never
had I felt
like this before
my heart bird hopping
within my
chest. ...a really lovely image of the beating heart.
