This is definitely 'over the top' ...your well written words of nature match your choice of photo perfectly and your choice of descriptive words to express the natural beauty was just perfect.
good job

The description of nature replete with meadow, willow , wild flowers, the scent of lilacs, and warm sunshine leads up to the final thrill of a lover's kiss. A ten line poem that captures it all. Good.

I like the simple rhyming pattern, flows well in a short poem. At first your poem is strictly about nature, then you take a beautiful romantic turn when you say, "I meet your eyes, desire stirs within." You keep the poem interesting, and passion from the heart is always a beautiful ending.

Lovely poetic picture adn descriptives. the artwork choice is delightful too, and enhances your composition perfectly. The rhyming, flow and form are all fine. Good consonance of S sounds throughout. Also fine assonances.

Well done.

No nits but I do have a suggestion for your kind consideration--I think the poem would be fine without any end-line punctuation...it is easy to see where phrasing stops and starts. it would look less cluttered that way, though it is also fine to keep it.

Good luck in the contest.
warmly, rd

'Interlude' is an exceptionally well-written piece. This talented poet's descriptive ability is excellent. It was a pleasure to both read and review a work of this standard.

Very nice. I thought you set the mood of this piece brilliantly. And after all, this poem is just a place for a kiss, and the most important thing in that is the mood. I think I shall give it a six, whoever you are.

Good job.

A very poignant piece of work. 'A lone willow tree stands tall and serene' - a lovely line that evokes quiet glades and peaceful days.

Structure - well put together and developed
Rhyme - consistent throughout
Rhythm - nice easy flow

Have a great day, hugs Mia
