Nice metaphor of the heron, used to demonstrate long-distance love relationships. Yes, it is difficult, at best, to try to maintain a loving & supportive relationship across the miles. Best wishes in the contest. Carol

Just trying to figure this one out quite honestly. `Business acumen` and `voice fills up a room` confuses me as I am not sure you speak of a female heron watching her man or a woman associating her dream guy to a heron. Am I stupid or what?

    You are on the right track. There is such a thing as an implied metaphor. In other words, something about this man is like a heron. It's what you called an advanced poetic technique. Thank you for your five-star review.

Well done, a poem of across the miles. The choice of language and imagery was effective and apt. The use of the graphic also worked well, added to the intentions of the verse. Keep on writing!

The Bible tells us that love is patient and love is kind. Many times we want to rush and to love and not spend the time to wait a bit to see if it truly is what God wants for our lives. Sometimes the long-term relationships last better than the short fiery ones. Patricia

    You certainly have something there. It seems at least ten other things have to be accomplished first. Departures, arrivals, and other decisions seem to figure in. Thanks for your kind review.

This poem, Love Played the Waiting Game, presented with two AABBCCDD-rhymed octaves, seems to follow the rise of another and hold the sense of like desires which will or have at last been realized. Nice.

Excellent poem. So eloquently written. Your word choice is fascinating and works so well to define your unique and beautiful style of writing.

My favourite line,

"I fear this distance cut potential bloom
of flow'ring love;"

Another great poem.

Good comparison--fishing for the best from all your team. There's a lot to be said for ambition. So many men are lacking that quality. The narrator can only think "what if," because the two live so far apart. How can the narrator ever be sure about him. For all she knows, there might be someone else in his life. Excellent rhyme and flow. Good luck in the contest. judi

The great heron is elegantly plumaged, with long necks and long legs; the herons rank among our most conspicuous and beautiful birds. They use their long, sharp bills to stab at fish, frogs, or large insects while gracefully wading. Like your poem.
