--> 'as your pallet' should be 'palette'

--> since you've already 'painted the skin', I wonder if re-painting the cheeks works quite as well...?

I thought this was a clever poem but it seems to change directions at times -- I mean the way the sentences were aimed, if that makes ANY sense at aLLL??

Thanks for sharing! I would the lucky man would approve regardless! *smile*

    I will change the word, thank you. The extra paint for the cheeks is to reflect the heat of passion :) Thank you so much for the review.
    I will ask that you consider revisiting this and changing the rating when the wording is corrected Robyn..

    Always,
    Missy

Yes I did find it pleasing. Great artwork you chose to us for this and a great picture you paint also with your words. Love the way you've used the colours of the painting to give us this sensual poem. Very nice.

-The artwork matches the colorful imagery in your poem.
-I like your poem because it uses so many colors to show your feelings of love.
-I like the opening line because after that the canvas begins to take shape, like a painting.
-A few lines I particularly like are:
* "paint my large brown eyes with the earthiness"
* "sprinkle flecks of gold in my eyes"
-A good ending.
- Just a suggestion, the small size of the font isn't easy to see. I didn't know if you tried a larger size. I like the poem otherwise.

    Respa1, I tried so many ways to get this shape with a larger size...grrrr. I am so very sorry for the inconvenience hon. I will do better next time, pinky promise :)
    Thank you for the splendid review, I honestly appreciate each one.

    You are welcome for the review. There wasn't any inconvenience. After thinking about it, I don't think you could have increased the font size, as in the longer lines, it would have wrapped around. I loved the poem.

Hello :)
Yes, it is pleasing and interesting. I like the black background and the pink font but the font size is too small and very hard to read, I suggest you make it bigger. Good job overall.

    I worked for hours trying to get it bigger. Before I threw something I settled on this. Thanks for taking the time to read and review GBR. You know I always appreciate your input my friend.

Interesting, and well written poem. Amazing, some times where inspiration for writing comes from, occasionally something as simple as a nice piece of art.

Romance is always the sign of an open heart and very hard to resist. If you are a grandmother and still feel this joy, you are to be admired and envied. I did enjoy your poem and it made the day lighter. I wish you well. After thought: One suggestion, if you could make the print of your poems a little larger so us grandfathers could read it with a little more ease, it would be appreciated.

    Next time I promise to make font larger, Victor. My heart and longing is written on this particular canvas :).
    Thank you very much for this lovely review.

The artwork you have chosen to compliment this piece is as magical as the words you have so well crafted my friend. I enjoyed the mesmerizing effect this piece delivered.
God bless!

Wonderful poetry which carries the inspiring message throughout. It lends the sense of welcome of a blank canvas which allows free rein for creativity.

Perhaps a bit like a blank page for a writer

I really like your poem of your lover making you his canvas. The metaphor has been used many times but you make it fresh, your own. I really like the line dealing with heavy black lines on the borders, a plea for permanence, to keep the colors contained. Great poem!
