This is such a beautiful poem and so is the picture. Perfect for the poem. The poem is so descriptive. I enjoyed reading it. Good luck in the contest. Great job.

I love how you created a rhyming love poem with an acrostic message. You've given us all a new way of considering romance. Thanks For the romantic focus

Hmmm... My first thought was that you probably shouldn't make things harder for yourself by crafting an Acrostic when this contest doesn't call for it. There is almost always something a little unnatural about acrostics which may not serve you well in the contest.

Oops! Now I have to apologise! I just looked at the title of the contest - Romance - and didn't initially realise the prompt does in fact call for an acrostic. That puts this entry in a far better light. Ignore everything I said in my first paragraph!

Second thing is a nitpick - Toujours should have an S on the end - sorry, I'm a former French teacher.

I have to say that even the poem itself doesn't thrill me. In comparison to the previous poem of yours I have reviewed (free verse) it is definitely weaker. For example, your last line doesn't make sense - at least to me. Your note about the absurdity is perhaps a reflection that you recognise that too.

I really enjoyed reading this poem. It has a nice flow to it. I could feel the beautifully absurdity of love as you intended. It's whimsical and well done. I wanted to keep reading more. Best wishes!

This is a tasty acrostic that has a life. Images of fairies, descriptors like nimble, and the verbs... Canoodle, woo, meander and the dancing lovers on graphic turned this into a real story.
