When one reads this it is so full of warmth and passion. It is very lovely my friend. The picture is so perfect with the words. Wish I had six stars to give it.

This is a very lovely, well composed Quatrain poem, Rod. Each of your four rhyming quatrains featured a smooth, even meter when read aloud.
The story it conveys is one of love at first glance, not all too uncommon an occurrence for some.
This should be a formidable entry in the contest.
I wish you the very best of luck.
~Dean

I'm not familiar with the term kimset , but I am familiar with the setting, having resolved to staying single and playing the field with mo regrets, love has sought him out and found him when he least expected it.
I thoroughly enjoyed this poem.

A fine quatrain poem written beautifully to the form
with excellent rhymes in the ABAB pattern
and silky iambic tetrameter
there is a smooth lilt and grace in your words
Excellent story and art work to match
Very nicely done
I've no sixes left
so I must give a five

Excellent quatrain, "As She Appeared," featuring that mysterious surprise that comes in a lifetime when one finds themselves in the midst of kismet. Lovely quatrains with excellent rhyme, rhythm, alliteration and enjambment all poetic delights.

RodG: oh, you men with hard, hard heart (or something). You think you cannot be felled but it only takes the right moment and the right woman to bring you to your knees. This poem is beautifully written with great rhythm and rhyme. Very nice job. livelylinda
