Your poem made me smile - it's a warning that's very practical. I appreciate it because it's not syrupy sweet overly romantic view of love but it covers the power of love on its effect of people. Nice abcb rhyme with lots of alliteration!
Best wishes in the contest!

You described so many forms and manifestations of love, from the good to not so good (smile). Great rhymes, meter and flow

You think you are strong.
In love, you'll not fall.
But, Love uses soft eyes,
to make fools of us all.

I felt that like color text font on that light blue background was a bit jarring to the eye - I would pick a darker color personally.

Good luck in the contest - this was excellent

You did a superb job in crafting this verse for the Love Poem prompt. I like the comparison and contrast you used... the pull and push of love that made you wary. Well written and a perfect entry for this contest.

Wow,I enjoyed this entry for the love poem contest, though at first I wanted to cry for its bitter r message of hurt. But you redeemed it, in the pivot of the last poignant verse ) well done. Good luck in the contest.

Hello, Lancellot,

Your entry for the Love Poem Poetry Contest is a two sided sword. Is love good or bad? Is it both simultaneously? It's an interesting thought. Good luck in the contest.

Love is funny or it's sad,
Love is quiet or it's mad.
It's a good thing, or it's bad,
but it's beautiful. [Lovely old song]
Yes love can hurt or be wonderful.
Well done, Lance. Nancy:)

A very well-written love poem. True love should be sweet with moonshine and roses with no fights or arguments but it only happens that way in movies and fairy tales.

Your vividly descriptive, skillfully-composed poem uses realistic, specific details to reveal the many "forms" of love, its great ad varied powers.
Note: In stanza 5, "bring" and "send" need an "s."
