He Loves Me or He Loves Me Not
Either way, life does go on...28 total reviews
Comment from estory
I like the tick tock rhythm of the lines here, like a pendulum swinging back and forth on a clock. Also that tick tock rhyme scheme and the echoing effects, the repeating refrain of 'He loves me or he loves me not.' It really is a great musical poem. estory

Comment from Mrs. KT
Hello dear Yvette!
I so appreciate your realistic approach to the age-old "He love me or he loves me not!" Lots of players. Lots of situations. Lots of hopes. Lots of discouragements. And yet, as you share with your reader, "Either way, life goes on."
Upbeat, but sad at the same time ...
Congratulations on your second place finish!
Thank you for sharing!

You are such a ray of sunshine with this review, Lady Di -- been crazy round here choosing a realtor and such, but at least we're doing it!! ;) :) Oh, and I glanced at your message just now -- will respond via email as that way I can type it 'not at the computer in the office' .... cuz I'm retiring early this evening - lol!! ;)
And the poem? Yeah, I've always tried to have that 'life goes on' attitude... too many people hang their entire life on somebody else's hat rack, ya know? Ugh! ;) Take care! ;) Yvette
Comment from Dick Waters
I loved your poem!
The picture was interesting and caught my attention.
The color selection was envious, and very nicely done.
The poem itself was an interesting read.
I also liked the ending.
Excellent product, and please keep writing.
Good luck in the contest.
Dick

Comment from Dorothy Farrell
Dear anon, how many times have we plucked the petals as a child chanting that phrase? This is very well written and a great read. I particularly like -
Jaded, perhaps, but not forlorn
Convinced that there's no unicorn
Those lucky stars still have a shot...
He loves me or he loves me not........... Good pairing of forlorn/unicorn, and it worked well. Good Luck in the contest - regards Dorothy x

Comment from Jeffrey L. Michaux
This is really good. I mean, what can you do? The last line of every stanza is really the conclusion of the matter here. We take a chance on it. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. I love the message conveyed in this and enjoyed reading this inspirational and well written work. Well done!

Comment from royowen
The most difficult thing to maintain control over is one's dignity through being in the possibility of being jilted, is keeping one's dignity through it all. Beautifully written, this is a Kyrielle, with the repeated end line, the trick is maintaining the rhyme. Excellently written and a darn good entry in this contest, in tetrametric stanzas and aabb rhyming, smooth and well written, good luck, blessings Roy

This is a lovely entry for the He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not writing prompt. Missed opportunities in love are sometimes so hurtful, but when the real thing hits you, it is divine. Well written!

Comment from Sally Law
Beautifully penned and illustrated watercolor poem for the age old tester of love. I picked my fair share of daisies back in the day. I found myself a good man and he loves me. I don't have to pick any more daisies thankfully. I so enjoyed this and I wish you all the best in the contest, mystery poet.
