I was delighted to see your entry...wondered what it would contain!
I was impressed with the emotion contained and so finely put into verse.
It struck me that even your anti-love poem ended upbeat! Delighted, too, how you used the repetition of stanzas so effectively.
Wonderful...you have my vote.

Oh My! I'm jealous of Bill.
Good for you Melissa.

Your words beautifully tell what is love and what is not love.

A valient effort, Melissa. Some lovely sentiments expressed, even the "anti-love" showed the power of the conflict.
