I just reviewed his seconds ago, amen to your assessment!!
And wow to the fire you've brewed with your response. This is a perfect response. It's often the case that opposites set the bedroom ablaze. Something about pressure and friction I suspect. Lovely and steaming hot. Is there any other way? mikey

Fire and ice. Amazing emotional photo depicting two people with opposite characters. The contrasts are devastating. Two individuals argue and fight over everything. liberty justice

Hi Missy. This is a romantic piece, but more than that--candid and sensuous, too. Presentation depicts the electricity described in your poem. These are especially good lines:
"When we come together
In anger
Words sear the heart
Or
Freeze the mind"

I've never had an interest in poetry; however, I have learned to enjoy the works of others. It seems to me that all these challenges going around do a wonderful job of pushing everyone who participate to reach higher levels. Great job. :-)

Comment from Dean Kuch
I check out his writing all the time, Missy, although he never reciprocates.
Aside from that, it's oft said that opposites attract, and I believe that's true. The problem with relationships where one's personality is the complete antithesis of the other is the relationship burns like an atom bomb--very fast and furious, explosive--but then it's gone, rather than like a candle, which burns slow, steadily, is reliable, and long-lasting.
Good stuff, Missy...

Hi JUSTAFAN,
This is a really nice poem of love between two complete opposites, and that truly does make for an interesting relationship.
You describe it so well and the presentation is cool.
Great read.

I love the dualistic nature of this! What an intensity! Full of emotions - positive and negative, and the display very much supports it! Wonderful poem!

I like these contrast themes in your romance poetry, Missy. You embrace the light and dark of the relationships in imagery powerful, yet simple enough to be carried in a few words. Fire and ice. Perfect. And relationships are things of contrasts, never always happy. Sometimes, as your closing 'waiting' suggests, it's both elements that make the whole, and it's sometimes the dark side that the lover embraces most fully. The construction of your verses is varied and the narrow, economic format really suits the directness of your words and the power you're trying to evoke. My only criticisms here are about grammar and they're simple fixes:
Words sear the heart
Or
Freezes the mind...freeze the mind. The subject of that sentence is 'Words' and you chose 'sear' for the first verb; correct plural verb. The second verb 'freezes' is singular and is still connected to the noun 'words'. Hence you need to plural 'freeze'.
Here you list the metaphor 'match' for three separate things ie touch, kiss, hands. You need 'matches' to equate with the number:
Your touch
Your kiss
Your hands
The match
That sets our
Therefore it would read:
Your touch
Your kiss
Your hands
The matches
That set our
Love ablaze...note the change to a plural verb 'set'.
Forgive my school teacherly explanations. I thought it may help.
Good poem, enjoyed.
