Plucking Petals
A Rondeau poetic form6 total reviews
Comment from tempeste
Ciao Sugarray,
Your love poem captures well the sense of doubt that often burdens lovers.
This doubt multiples if the one loved has to leave for a period of time like for work .
My favourite line is :
I'll weave a daisy chain with flair...
each petal plucked a questionnaire.
Love me love me not .. a relationship is a scary change, especially today.

Hello sweet Franca. Thank you for your lovely review and comments. I agree that relationships open us up to hurt and vulnerability. Thanks again!
Fondly,
Melissa

Good luck in the contest! I love this and how you use crafting floral art as a way to cope and seek reassurance--there's something so calming and hopeful about that image. The idea of the daisy chain with each petal representing a question is really touching and creative. It's like a tender way to find some peace amidst the anxiety. And great picture accompanying it.

This is very nice. You chose a form of poetry with a high degree of difficulty. That is something the readers and voters are sure to notice.
Add to that the moving emotions you impart, and you have strong entry.
Well done.

I enjoyed this. For me your poem seemed to capture the uncertainty of needing reassurance in a relationship The way you share the emotional feelings works so well. I could feel a sense of vulnerability and yearning reading it. It's a beautifully written poem about the heart. Great job!

I truly enjoyed this love poem. The rondeau is such a challenging format, but you have handled the rhyming and the meter well. The Speaker's anxiety is clearly expressed and we hope he will respond the way she hopes. Rod
