One must love themselves before they can truly love another person. Thank you for sharing this contest entry with us. I enjoyed reading and want to wish you luck with the contest.

Beautiful cinquain with an even 'beautifuller' message (like that new word there - lol!). Seriously though, I do love the message you deliver in this somewhat trying form -- you make it look easy which I know it is not!! ;) Thanx for sharing! ;)

Hello Kahpot, I think that we all think clearer before we get bitten by the love bug. There's a reason for the saying ... love crazy. Yes, indeed. It scrambles all logical thinking. Well done. Great photo choice.
This is a choice that many can and will relate to. Margaret

Hope this gets you a ribbon. This is a thoughty poem.
If you don't like yourself, how do you expect anyone else to? Outside stuff like clothes, makeup, a good shave and accessories can help, but the inside stuff comes first. Karen

Comment from Pam (respa)
-Very nice artwork and presentation, kahpot.
-I agree with the premise you have to love
yourself in order to love someone else. It
isn't always easy to accept, but it makes sense.
-You wrote a good poem about it.
-A good first half shows that your thoughts
"became clearer" about the nature of love.
-Very good closing lines show why and how
to accomplish that. A good entry; good luck!!

Comment from Gypsy Blue Rose
How can you truly love someone if you can't love yourself? It's very true.
Good syllables count and connection between lines. Nice imagery and personification.

Comment from Debbie D'Arcy
This is such a truism and well expressed in this cinquain poem. Impossible to love others if you don't honour and recognise that love of yourself first. I enjoyed both the verse and the sentiment, complemented by a striking, reflective image. Thanks for sharing and good luck! Debbie

Comment from CrystieCookie999
This is a great little poem. I counted syllables, and you did great there. I think it describes an idea that love ought to be based on something like a secure self-identity first. Nice share. Good luck in that contest!

Comment from June Sargent
This is so true. Before we can love another, we must learn to love ourselves - the good, the bad and even the ugly parts! Self-acceptance will make it easier to accept others as they are.
