Ow the metaphor was amazing here.. & you managed to carry it throughout the whole poem which was amazing to see. I loved the theme of this poem, it's true how love can transform someone you hate into a friend, or even vise versa too. The effort put into this poem shines, I loved it.

I always admire your style of writing... powerful and hard hitting... the word choice and the way you place them at the perfect places... simple amazing...

Leaving me with no more then a survival kit
-an hourglass to shift time.

Very well deserved win :]
Awesome Mel.

Dudette, this is brilliant. It took me some time to focus on it though because I was trying hard on the hidden meanings behind your metaphors.

"he impersonates the sunset upon my lips.

An elixir of evanescent fireflies;
caged by rings of fire."

I would really really like to thank you for such an amazing opening. I was totally drawn in within no less than 10 seconds of time :D love the image!

"He is no more than a Nemeses to my heart,
Evocative enough to illuminate
comets upon my path..."
^
I think this is my favorite stanza in the whole poem. You misspelled the Goddess's name "Nemesis", I only knew when I had to google the name lol. Very well done on this stanza sweetie, it's simple addictive!

I can truly see you in this poem with-of course- the use of metaphors, but above all, with the use of symbolization in animals.
It could not be more amazing :)

Shine on!
~Hugs~

*more not less
and *simply.

"and I a rabbit slumbered
oblivious 'neath his paw."
Omg, that was amazing. Definitely gave a beautiful mental image of innocence, I think. =]
