This is super sweet and romantic, mystery poetess. Love the pink too, my favorite color. An adorably written offering in this most difficult poetry form.

Sending you my best today as always and my good wishes in the contest.
Sally :))

An excellent entry for the Tetractys Contest. You did a lovely job of expressing how a long time love can remain like new and leave you feeling like you felt when you first fell in love. Good luck in the contest.

Your poem vividly conveys the intense impact of seeing someone you care about, capturing both the physical and emotional responses. The progression from "Just a glimpse" to "makes me fall apart" effectively builds up the sense of awe and vulnerability. The line "speeds my heart" and "catch my breath" succinctly depict the physical sensations, while the final phrase provides a powerful emotional closure.

Hi

This looks like a good entry for the contest. Good luck with that!!

This seems like a love story can't tell if it's male or female talking. I suppose it doesn't make any difference if you could go either direction

Sometimes love makes you excel sharply, and it can seem like your heart is pounding and falling apart

That's an interesting dynamic because you could say what you did

Makes me fall apart

But you could also say

Makes it fall apart (meaning the heart falls apart)
Did you think about that? Of course it's your poem so it's up to you

I enjoyed reading your poem

Good job. Thank you for sharing.

Author,
Your romance poem captures the magic one might feel when finding that special person. The fact that that magic is sustained in a relationship makes this poem more endearing.
Excellent poem.
Best wishes,
Cindy
