Congratulations girl for this little bit romance on and off the dance floor winning the top prize. It's definitely free verse which you don't have to count syllables in. Wonderful.

    It is, indeed, free verse which you don't have to count syllables in, gungalo! :)))))

    Then why the author's notes girl?
reply by the author on 16-Feb-2013
    to explain that it was free verse BUT constructed in a 4 syllable/ line FORM - usually free verse is just "free", no form or constriction at all, right? You know how people are -ooooh that's not "free" ... some stuff is the SAME , bad bad bad ... :)))

You certainly have a way with words. It's like you set me on fire right now. I feel like jumping, going to a party and getting the move on. Great poem.

Sharyn - I love your poem, Passionate Love in Black and White. It's great that you won the contest and also have it featured on the front page of FS. I always say fi re like it's two syllables. It doesn't sound right to me otherwise. (: A wonderful job on this, my friend. Kat

Congratulations on your contest win, Sharyn
I love the illustration and presentation
I like the internal rhyme in glide me, slide me and the strong verbs you use throughout in this invitation to passion
musky scented/soft and moist - good sensory and sensual details
lots of good alliteration and internal rhyme throughout - no wonder you won with this wonderfully passionate poem that never crosses that line to the vulgar :-) Brooke

Yeowza! Very hot! I really enjoyed this poem. The verse was rhythmic and it almost sang off the page. Your illustration is very cool, too. A jazzy roaring 20's scene was exactly what popped into my head. Excellent!
