You did well with that writing prompt. I definitely felt the sadness in your lines. The complete story was told in the poem. The art work of the broken heart adds to the poem. Nice job.

You did a fine job writing this, my friend. It is a complete story with good rhyming tone. The use of red lettering along with the graphic is a good choice as it brings out the sentiment felt by the writer. Good luck in this contest, and keep writing!

What a beautiful version of a broken hearted poem. Love the words that you wrote; it covers loneliness, sorrow, music or songs to brighten the day and so a love will never go wrong.

An excellent image to go with your well-written poem. Everybody can relate to what you have written, filled with sadness and despair, and the usual blows to self-esteem. Good wishes for your entry.

While this deals with the given subject of heartbreak it fails to follow the stipulated varying rhyme scheme and follows an alternate pattern throughout. It has also almost twice the number of characters allowed. Hence the low grading.

Raised from 3 stars to four on account of the setter's error.

    Thank you but I found out that wasn't true. In the contest thread someone asks about it and he said he meant words, but he couldn't change it. So because I haven't reached 350 words it should be ok. I hope so at least. Thanks for reading. I hope that perhaps you would reconsider your rating. :)

    Ah mistake by the setter! But the rhyme scheme is your mistake. I will give this a four then rather than the original three.

    Thank you for changing the rating. I followed the Ababa rhyme scheme as it was one of the choices, even though the sllyable count is not consistent. I don't really pay attention to that sort of thing, preferring to write from the heart. Thanks again.

    The requirement was to write in a different rhyme scheme for each stanza.
reply by the author on 18-Jul-2021
    Actually thats not true. It says to write it in abab, aaaa, bbbb, OR aabb. It gives you a choice. It never states that each stanza be in a different rhyme scheme. Thank you.

As someone who has experienced much heartbreak in my life I can tell you've definitely nailed that emotion down. Written with so much feeling and emotion. Nothing short of exceptional. Six stars

This looks like a tough contest with a lot of rules. A specific word count and required words. You have done an excellent job! It's sad and emotional

This most definitely is a broken hearted poem. You've portrayed the feelings of distress at the relationship break-up well and your rhyming is spot on. The beat of the lines is a bit wonky in places so you might want to say it out loud a few times to see where that happens and amend accordingly.
HOWEVER, you will have to do some serious pruning to the poem'sĀ length, as I notice the requirement is a maximum of 350 characters and yours is over 900+.
(If you copy your poem and put it into wordcounter.net website it will tell you how many words and characters are in your poem.)
