Love is so carefree and fun when you pen it, Judester. Particularly the last stanza -- more particularly the next to the last line, "I dust off the glitter when I kiss you goodnight." That seems to sum up the entire poem.

Great job.

Nice, sweet and light. Comparing love to a carnival and circus, a parade in the sunshine, kaleidoscope lights... its all there. The rhythm and rhymes are easy to navigate when this poem is read aloud. Colorful love!

I love the picture. I love the poem. Life can be like a carnival. There are a lot of wonderful rides you can. There are a lot of games with wonderful prizes you can win. Love can make life much better. Great work. Good luck with the contest

Your poem is like a fun carnival ride with love. The rhythm is a little inconsistent, but otherwise this is a perfect sweet, light poem. Excellent contest entry. Best of luck.

A very uplifting love poem with beautiful rhymes and flow. How delightful - those:

Our love is a carnival
with music and lights.
I dust off the glitter
as I kiss you goodnight.

Incredible visuals, full of light, it really is a very optimistic look on love.

One meter suggestion:

A parade in the sunshine,
a birthday surprise!
Those Christmas mornings -
a pastel sunrise.

This was, for sure, a light and sweet poem. It described how you feel about love and it's splendor. I really liked the rhythm of your poem. It had a good flow to the verse. Well done piece.

    Kind of like kaleidoscope eyes. A phrase in an old old song. I like the word kaleidoscope. I think I'll remember that one.
