I love this poem it knows of pain and the healing as the blossoms bloom.
The elements of content (meaning), sounding, (the way it reads) and shape are all here in quality measure. Usurping sense and branding me a fool is an insightful line. The reader relates to this; your knowledge of this experience of pain is evident and keenly put.

I so love this in depth review. I'm pleased you're pointing out elements that I hoped would have an impact. Wow. And a sky full of stars too. I haven't been able to spend much time here lately so this will sustain me for a while. Thank you so much! mikey

Congrats on your win. It is well deserving. The presentation is great--the color scheme, the artwork, and the choice of the ABC word beginnings. Good job on the rhyme and flow.
Thanks for sharing.

Comment from Lovinia
Hi Mikey
Whatever the meter, it sounds good to me. :)) Such a poignant tale of jealously and possessiveness. Black romance for sure. Beautifully written, is it sonnet-like? Perhaps you've just invented a new form? Presentation is exquisite. A great theme and clever using the extended last line to first of next. Narcissism at it's worst.
Excellent rhyme, alliteration, assonance and consonance all embellished with the rhythm of your chosen meter. A fine entry for this contest, and a strong contender for high placement I'm sure. Wishing you the best of luck. You score my first six. Hugs - Lovi xoxo

So delighted you enjoyed this. I finished it and thought, hey this is pretty good! :)
You were right. I got second place. Wow, that is always such a shock to place in a real contest. Thanks for all the stars, I haven't been around much so they light up my room. mikey

I'm sure I've seen your name up in lights more than once. Yes, this was excellent and a worthy winner, especially up against so many and selected by the experts. I was pleased I popped by with stars in my pocket. :))) Hugs - Lovi xoxo
Comment from nelliesellie
I love the picture. I love the poem. You are so right. Jealous and possessive feelings can kill a love. You need to lose your pride and say you are sorry a lot . But people also need to get rid of these possessive feelings. True love stays freely. Great work.

It's a blessing having ones with their heads on straight!!!
I think this is resembling some kind of form. I just borrowed a bit from here and there. Glad you liked it. Sorry it took me so long to respond. mikey

Comment from Barb Hensongispsaca
Excellent entry to the contest.
Very well written and such a tear jerker at the same time.
I love the way you used the last line to start the next.
Rhyme and rhythm are excellent

Comment from Linda Engel
Well expressed and I like the flow having the last line being the first of the next verse. Oh so true the words you write. Remember "I know now why the canary sings". Possession and abuse, unwarranted suspensions, makes a sad and shallow relationship. Might be cute the first day but soon drains the life out of you. Well done Mike, sounds like your marriage is healthy.

Yes, I'm lucky. I've been in more than one jealous relationships though and you describe it achingly to a tee. I borrowed the moving line from one of the forms I saw here. Glad you liked it, I did too. :)
Thanks so much, mikey (a little late, yes?)
Comment from Gloria ....
Aw, Mikey this is a terrific ABC poem. Very creative how you've written it in three stanzas excellent meter, rhyme. Overall I'd say you've risen to the occasion quite nicely.
Great to know too that it's all fiction because you and your lovely wife don't do the jealousy thang.
One nit:
How did such blossums (blossoms) bloom within this tomb?
Best wishes to you in the contest, my friend.
Gloria

Fixed the blossoms. I always spell it with a "u" for some reason that ... um ... I can't quite put my finger on. :)
I'm too ego driven to be jealous. I figure anyone who doesn't chose me is insane. Hahaha.
Oh, I'm a little behind. mikey
Comment from Dawn Munro
Mikey, this is marvelous!!! I have one teeny, tiny suggestion that has nothing to do with the fabulous writing - it's your presentation. Simply colouring the appropriate letters to make the ABC aspect of the form stand out will make a big difference to the reader (and the judges).
LOVED it!!!

Comment from Sandra Stoner-Mitchell
This is really well written, Mikey, I didn't even realise it was an ABC until I read the bottom where it said contest entry, then I had to go back and check it out. jealousy is an illness, buy I would think it would be really hard to live with someone who suffers from jealousy. Excellent contest entry, my friend, good luck! xsx Sandra
