This is absolutely beautiful!
Perfect artwork to accompany your poem.
Really love the large font and your color choice.
A perfect 5-7-5.
Love how you expressed the love, romance and mystery of that first dance.
This is a great contest entry!

A well-written and nicely formatted 5-7-5. Your message of love comes through smoothly. I love your word choice/line "small talk 'til dawn." Ah...your words evoke the memories of young love. :) Good luck in the contest.

A very well-written 5-7-5 poem about the first dance with a special one, that lasts until dawn when love is born in the hearts of two who become one and never seem to be apart.

A beautiful love story... nostalgia for that first date (maybe?) when everything was new... "whispers in darkness" is fantastic! This is great from the very beginning (the awesome description and title) until the end! Nicely presented too!

This speaks about the moment when the dancers dancing in movement to music and enjoying and talking forgetting to return to home till dawn; well said, well done. Keep Writing Inspiring Changing. Wish You Happy New Year! -- DR ALCREATOR

Dear Author,
Your poem, That First Dance...Til Dawn, is just splendid. It really struck a chord with me. I think it will pretty much strike a chord with everyone over the age of 20 or so. That first date, that first meeting when you just don't want the night to end, and somehow suddenly you find that the sun is rising and the night has passed and you don't really know how it even happened. You've just been sitting around, chilling, chatting, dealing woth those longing looks and intense stares, the occasional kiss... but you HAVE to go home... you to yours, them to theirs. lol That's how it works! Ahhhhh... to be young again! Butterflies abounding!

There is something about body language when we dance with someone special till break of dawn. I really like your choice of words in this 5-7-5 and the use of M-sounds to create the perfect mood.

I love this entry for the 5-7-5 Love prompt. Your verse calls for us to remember those first dances with someone special and how those feelings lingered til dawn. Well done and good luck in the competition.
