This is a really fun piece you've created using the required words! I loved the story as well as the rhymes. It hooked me in like a soap opera and led me to a satisfying conclusion. She got her man!

A fun poem filled with anticipation for a romance just itching to start. I enjoyed your rhymes and your meter is a bit uneven in places but this did not spoil your wonderful story, much enjoyed, love Dolly x

Sometimes, a wordsmith stuns you with an assemblage of the best words in truly the best order. This was such a light-hearted trip; such a pleasure to find. I think you had fun with this one. I did.

Sure, if you don't ask, how will you ever know if she would or would not? In my case, she asked if she could borrow a pencil, pointedly staring at the two mechanical pencils and two ballpoint pens I always had in my shirt pocket. It was legitimate I guess. She returned it before we left for the next class. When I said she could return it next day, she smiled and said she'd get one at the student store.

Take a bow or curtsey as appropriate. Nicely done.

Live long and write well,

Fantasist

An addendum: I rang our ship's bell at our fiftieth anniversary!

Well, your words took you to quite an intriguing place. When I was
a Fanstorian in the past, I used to enter these contests, but I don't
remember winning any of them. I really like what you did with
this. Good luck in the contest.

This is a very cute story you created for this contest. It is a little repetitive, but it works for this story. I like the picture as well. The "hook" stanza is a good one:I watch him walk by every day,
distinguished in his dark blue suit.
I think he's fine in every way,
a match for me, single to boot!

This could have been a Tell a Story in a Poem contest entry also. You went all out with this poem. The only suggestion I have is holding the required words makes it easier to see you used them all. Good luck in the contest.

Very good. I like your contest submission. Not just for the way it is composed bu the message therein. Especially the advice about... "Speak up and say what's in your heart". I hope your entry does well in the voting.
