Vinyl and Lace

Judging comment:

"This is simply gorgeous and from this entry alone I can see why Hannah won the contest overall. There's few words that can do justice to this marvellous poem as it is truly a thing of beauty. "and teases the strings of his eager heart," Adore this, creates such a romantic feel to the poem. Gorgeous. "

Everything has been said already really Hannah, it is an amazing poem and the fact you wrote it through a challenge and had prompts makes it even greater. I often find my challenge poems are so forced and unpolished. But yours seem flawless.

Greta job.

OMFG Hannah!! This was just like the most beautiful poems I have read, in terms of imagery and wording, flow and just everything was spot on.

I love the sensuality in this piece, the seductive and sexy without being trashy kind of feeling, like it was meant and lusted after.

Etta James is seriously the perfect singer to add here, it just ties in with the whole sexy and romantic tone and genre...

But I love that it's not all loved up to the point where poetry can become nauseating and repetitive...it was creative and tasteful

Loved this piece, it was just amazing!

Love.. Love.. Love. Throw the last stanza in with my love fest, because I love that, too.

I feel like I should take a break from commenting your entries because I'm going to repeat myself with my gushing. :/

I thought you did a really excellent job at taking these prompts and doing something different with them. I love the seduction in this piece. I automatically thought of Marilyn Monroe. Or a stripper, but Monroe felt a bit more sexy/sensual to me, and a lot less trashy, haha.

I love that you used Etta James, she had some seriously romantic and beautiful music... purr is a perfect way to describe it.

I feel like you put a lot of thought into these poems but also that the thought comes very effortless to you. It seems like you could just sit down, whip up some gorgeous poetry, and stay humble about it. lol. I really* love this poem (too!)

You have a style of writing that when people read it can know that it was you who wrote it. :P

I think your skill is brevity capturing a moment with few words while giving images. It requires skill.
