Nicely written and illustrated poem about passionate love. It shows tenderness and desire. I like the consonance with the 's' sound through
the poem.
Congrats on placing second in the contest

Comment from Lobber
Hi there,
It's a short poem and still much can be captured or expressed. While I believe your feelings are real, the mixed metaphors don't do you justice. Putting velvet and oceans in a room together, for me, creates no special magic or feeling.- Lobber

Thank you! I appreciate your taking time to read and I understand what you are saying. I am trying to express a great quantity by using ocean, not necessarily meaning exactly a reference to water itself. :)

Hi,
Got it. Sorry, I was being too literal. How about a word that achieves the same and is is less tactile and tangible- like the word ?galaxy???

Thank you! I am on my way home from Chicago visiting my son so I?ll review that tonight when I get home!

I can imagine a sea of emotion rising above a solitary figure standing upon the shore, the waves moments from crashing down. I like this metaphor for love. It captures the intensity of passion but the final lines reveal its gentleness.

Truly, you tell your lover your feeling of and for love, as passion consumes you, your joy knows no bounds for love; well said, well done. Liked and enjoyed the read. Write-Inspire --DR ALCREATOR

I love your word choices in this brief three lines of verse. The sense of being "lost in an ocean" gives a wide perspective of the love and the "sweet velvet caresses" brings it back to a deeply intimate, personal level.

Thank you sincerely! This is my first time venturing into such a limited structure poem. It was very challenging and took me outside my box!! Appreciate your review so much!

Not a word is wasted in this three-line poetry contest entry. You've used strong imagery and there is a rhythm behind the lines that makes it very easy to read. Good luck in the contest. I don't think it's come up for judging yet.

Thank you sincerely! It was much harder than I thought to bring an idea together in such few words! But I really love the challenge! And no, voting doesn?t begin until next week! I think that?s the hardest part is waiting for the booth to open! LoL
-
That's true. Once I have a piece written I can't wait to get it 'out there' then I have to wait for ages for the voting. :)

Haha! Oh, the suffering we poets go through!

Hello Diana. That was a nice poem I really enjoyed it! Makes me wish I was consumed by passion and was lost in an ocean of sweet velvet caresses. Maybe one day, I can only hope. Good Job and good luck in the contest.
