There is an old song that has in its' lyrics "You've got it bad and that ain't good"....
(smile)---this illustration combined with your poem seems to diagnosis that you are "terminally smitten"...and loving anyone that much can "hurt so good!"----
MY mother used to say if I ever found I was "drowning in love" to start swimming fast in the other direction!

Hello, lovely poem, I like the way you tie the senses and music in with a loving tribute to a musician you love. Music is one of our greatest achievements, in mho. Nicely done, and the picture is very appropriate I'm surprised you found something to fit so well. Noticed no errors, thanks, Ana.

    Thank you for your review! I love how the reviews on this site are detailed and not simply "I liked it." It was my first poetry attempt and the reviews are so encouraging. I actually saw the picture awhile back and have kept looking at it. When I read about the contest it just seemed to be what I should try writing about! Worked out perfect :)

Well now, I think that I just read the winner of this contest. Your images are passionate and your musical theme is consistently carried out in each line. Words, chords, and voice. Then your whole body is involved--brain, heart, and soul. In order of importance in love no less. Expertly crafted.

    I think I've been stunned since I read your review. It was my first attempt at poetry or any creative writing in many years, so I was not expecting such a positive and detailed response! Yours was the first I received and it's taken me this long to not be to "speechless" to respond LOL. I appreciate you taking the time to review my work and including specifics of what you liked. It has encouraged me to try writing more!

    I hope you are encouraged to write lots more. This cannot be a fluke.
