Congratulations on your winning entry in the recent Rondelet contest.

One can easily imagine this butterfly encounter through your verse. The invitation was accepted! Good use of the illustration to pair with your poem.

    Thanks Marco for the kind review and extra stars.

    I actually started off with butterflies in mind but then it morphed into something quite different. ( biggrin)

    I found the pic after .. took me over an hour but it was worth it.

Tempeste, congrats on this win. You deserved it with this very creative, descriptive and suggestive rondelet. I thought this was a super competitive contest with all great entries. You nailed it!
Applauds,
John

Ciao seductive inviting poet. I have a dear close friend who once said to me..."men are sexually wired." At first...I laughed...ha ha ha ha. Then I thought to myself. If that allegation (an assertion made without substantial proof) is true...then please do, tell me who...it is that..."drives," us to be that way?! Now I'm sure that I know. And...well...then again...maybe I'd better ask of my girlfriend. She knows everything. hee hee.

    Actually I was thinking of butterflies initially

    when a female is ready to mate , she opens her wings.

    This made me think of a woman and then the poem morphed into a woman with butterfly wings. ( biggrin)

    Glad you found my wee poem worthy of that extra star! ( wink)

Perfection. The picture is exquisite, The matting is unmatched. The font is just right. The black of the type should overwhelm but does not. Altogether one of the best pieces I have seen. Karen

    It took me over an hour to find the pic ( of course Pinterest never lets me down ) ( biggrin)

    I was so excited when I found the same light beige for the background which is also in the wings.

    Thank you for the enthusiastic review and the extra shiny star!

I don't know who you are but THIS poem just made me not enter. Haha. It's THAT good. I love the refrain. The word choices are perfect. GREAT JOB. I usually would not do this for a blind review but wow :)

    😝

    Strange thing is .. initially, I wanted to write a wee poem about butterflies but when I was searching for a pic , I found that one with the miss with butterfly wings? hence I changed my mind.

    Keep safe🍀

You have mastered the Rondelet form well and the rhyming is good throughout. However, I think it would sound better as 'titillating feelings they bring' rather than 'titillation feelings...'
Good luck in the contest

This sounds provocative and sexual to me, as the invitation is accepted with open arms here, I wish you luck with the contest, your words are a give away as to what is really going on here, love Dolly x
