Beautiful cinquain with an even 'beautifuller' message (like that new word there - lol!). Seriously though, I do love the message you deliver in this somewhat trying form -- you make it look easy which I know it is not!! ;) Thanx for sharing! ;)

Hello Kahpot, I think that we all think clearer before we get bitten by the love bug. There's a reason for the saying ... love crazy. Yes, indeed. It scrambles all logical thinking. Well done. Great photo choice.
This is a choice that many can and will relate to. Margaret

I enjoyed reading this poem. I like the words: I must discovering within myself. We do need to love ourself first. Love the different colors you used. Very good job

Hope this gets you a ribbon. This is a thoughty poem.
If you don't like yourself, how do you expect anyone else to? Outside stuff like clothes, makeup, a good shave and accessories can help, but the inside stuff comes first. Karen

-Very nice artwork and presentation, kahpot.
-I agree with the premise you have to love
yourself in order to love someone else. It
isn't always easy to accept, but it makes sense.
-You wrote a good poem about it.
-A good first half shows that your thoughts
"became clearer" about the nature of love.
-Very good closing lines show why and how
to accomplish that. A good entry; good luck!!

How can you truly love someone if you can't love yourself? It's very true.

Good syllables count and connection between lines. Nice imagery and personification.

This is such a truism and well expressed in this cinquain poem. Impossible to love others if you don't honour and recognise that love of yourself first. I enjoyed both the verse and the sentiment, complemented by a striking, reflective image. Thanks for sharing and good luck! Debbie

This is a great little poem. I counted syllables, and you did great there. I think it describes an idea that love ought to be based on something like a secure self-identity first. Nice share. Good luck in that contest!

This is so true. Before we can love another, we must learn to love ourselves - the good, the bad and even the ugly parts! Self-acceptance will make it easier to accept others as they are.

There is very profile and truth in this particular poem for us to love others. We first must love ourselves that doesn't mean we need to be egotistical. It only means that we need to appreciate and know who we are. Have a good day and may God bless you and I wish you the best in the contest. Patricia.
