Yeah, and you can count me as one of those people, Anonymous Poet.
Burn me once, shame on you.
Burn me twice, shame on me for not beating the hell out of you the first time.
Heh-heh-heh.
Best of luck to you in the 5-7-5 Romance Contest.

    Thanks, Dean. Not sure if you're practical or cynical. Maybe both;^)
reply by Dean Kuch on 31-May-2019
    I would say I'm a little bit of both, lol.
    You're very welcome and good luck!

Dear Author... I feared for you!!! I was sure that your bottom line was just 4 syllables! I had to google 'idea' to find out it was 3! Phew! Thank goodness for that! You've got a winner here I think... I love the image too, totally Romance Novel... too bad it's not Jamie and Claire! Talk about heat! LOL

    So funny, Susan, my original submission had "a novel idea" as the last line until someone pointed out that idea was three syllables. I changed it and another reviewer pointed out that it was only four! I admit I had to Google Jamie and Claire, not familiar with Outlander. Thanks!

    How can you not be familiar with Outlander??? They have conventions like Star Trek! :0

    There's just so much to consume on cable now, it's sensory overload. Maybe I'll take a peek.

    Stars... but the books are better! They always are... They're a re-read... re-re-read, and a re-re-re-read... lol

I am a sucker for wit and irony. It suits my own personality, I think. If I have a choice to NOT be too serious I will go that route. The "Romance Novel" image is PERFECT for your 5-7-5 tongue in cheek poem! I got a real chuckle out of it!--Karenina

cute idea of combining the 'romance' novel (illustration) as a metaphor for your verses

your 17 syllables describe the situation perfectly

good luck in this contest

This is a fun and humorous poem. I especially like the double meaning at the end - though, in fairness, there is an argument to be made here. What is the origin of romance?

    Fair question. Thanks, James!
