    Oh my word. This is beautiful Mark especially these lines "the wailing winds would carry, tiny hearts - red draped sherry" so much beauty in your imagery

    Those first four lines Mark carry such imagery of a dove projecting tiny hearts from its beak - sending them on the breeze to his love - so sweet! Lovely poem :-) x

    Judging comments:
    This poem is such a beautiful expression of love, and written in a classic language of the ‘romantics’ which only adds to its impact. Mark takes us on a journey of the senses with how he conveys his love from his ‘inner’ self to his loved one – using metaphorical doves, flutes, hearts, calligraphy and even quilt patches (my fave bit). It’s a feast for the eyes, heart and mind and the aabbccc rhyme scheme makes each septet feel like a poem by itself. My favourite poem this week. :-) x
