All the best in the contest,

This is a clever storyin a poem about love gained and then lost. The rhymes are smooth as is the metre and general flow. Well done. Sending best wishes for the contest.

Author,
You've penned an excellent poem using the color blue.
Any shade of blue is my favorite color; you express this very well in your work!
Nice contrast between love and bittersweet sorrow.
Best wishes,

Hi

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

I see you played a lot with the font to get the blue color wherever you mentioned blue. Yes I noticed that.

You use blue as an emotion which I often do. I often wonder whether people understand what that means.

Then you describe a man who is dressing in all blue and has blue eyes, and who maybe disappointed you, maybe took advantage of you.

But you wanted him nevertheless, and he left. Sad.

So now you're left to pick up the pieces and move on. Hard to do.

I'm pretty sure this is fictitious. In any case, it is well written and communicates clearly what you are trying to say

It has a good rhyming scheme with no set meter

I enjoyed reading your poem

Good job. Thank you for sharing.

This is a delightful take on the prompt and carries us back to the 50s and 60s when some girls chased "bad boys" like this one who broke their hearts. I love how you worked the color BLUE into every stanza. Rod

This is very clever... and often true! It's so easy for us to rationalize to convince our self that a relationship is wonderful. We eventually see it clearly, and hope we've learned from it. Well done!

Awesome poem using the word and color blue.... teased the reader with his charm and style, then left popped our blue balloon when he walked away, leaving us broken hearted.
Great poem!

The poem explores the theme of being captivated by someone's irresistible charm, symbolized by the color blue. The imagery is consistent and vivid, using the color blue to express various emotions and stages of the relationship.
