It is hard to open a closed heart. If it does open up to love, then yes, life changes, but that's really scary. Thank you for sharing this contest entry with us and good luck with the contest.

This ABC poem, If, has the proper IJKLM-formatting and suggests that the recollection of a decision from the past has gained power and serves now as a "Road Not Taken" moment that has shaped life now.

I wrote one of these as well. This is nicely done. The picture was selected well. Don't forget to enter my contest to write me a good birthday card. Like:

Karen is nice and she's sweet
Her company is a rare treat
She may be old
But's she's made of gold
We better go get her a seat

Or, something else suitably fawning. hahahaha

    LOL! Thanks for your review. I'll start thinking about that birthday poem. Thanks for the example.

I thought this was well written. For me your poem captures a moment of reflectio. I also sensed a a hint of regret or longing for what could have been. The phrase "If I had let you" suggests that. Well written and an excellent entry to the contest!

Many people keep their hearts closed and don't welcome others in and they often miss out on the love they would have experienced, I enjoyed your ABC poem for the contes, this is a good entry and I enjoyed the sentiments, love Dolly x

Oooooh! See what I mean about your writing? It's deep and smooooooooth and so very excellent! I knew it wasn't a "flash in the pan." It was simply too good for that to be the case. I am so happy I got to read you earlier this week, because now I'll enjoy you often! This is fabulous, and I am betting it will do GREAT in the ABC Poetry Contest! Good luck to you! xoxo

    I think everyone has at least one possible relationship that you wonder about if it would've succeeded. But, if it was meant to be, it would have, so there's that. I'm a great believer in I'm where I'm intended to be when I'm supposed to be there. I trust God will keep me on the way I must go. Thanks so much!
