A beautiful poem, and the sadness and angst of unrequited love are expressed well. Even the seasons reflect it. Best wishes for your entry in the contest.

If you feel it, you had better say it.

Line 8: (dream's) should be (dreams) Dream's suggests ownership. dreams is the plural you need here.

Very nice Bermy

Unrequited love can stem from a truly hurtful situation. To move on is not always so easy, meaning or the definition of your poem below.

Unrequited love can hurt badly, but you can also move on from it. Start by managing your reactions to avoid making things worse. Then, get space from the person and care for yourself emotionally. Finally, take steps to move forward with your life and consider new romantic options. per Internet.

A very poignant piece that captures the pain of unrequited love in a very tender way - without excessive drama. Suffering in silence as twined fantasies relinquish their hold. Well done.

You did a great job with your contest entry, Eugene.
I enjoyed reading it. Your words were well chosen to
prove a point about love not returned. Your words
flowed smoothly with meaningful choices. I could
feel the angst of the one in your poem over be rejected.
Thanks for sharing and best wishes in the contest, Jan

I get all the lines save for "summer falls victim to chastity's belt." What is it you are saying? You have a way with words my Bermudian friend. Do you closer to Hamilton or St. George?

Very nice. Yes, not only was love not returned to this poor soul but no passion or lust either. What way to waste a young summer. You did a good job showcasing the feelings of losing out.

Good luck in the contest.

It's like the Band said, "There's no love as true as the love that dies untold." I enjoyed your poem, though it made me sad. Thank you for sharing, and best wishes to you.
