Notes About The Poem

Blinded By Love -Inspired By Photograph Number 1

He loves me 
He loves me not …

He loves me 
He loves me not …

When the rose tinted petals fell from my eyes
I was no longer blinded -
finally I could see his deception

Photograph #No 1 Under 10 lines Contest. Sponsored by Poet Destroyer A.

Poet Destroyer A April 18, 2016 at 1:45 AM Hi Jan, this was clever and creative. Reminds me of me... LOL, I was young and wanted to know if my crush loved me too... sweet and cute. However, the two lines that placed you with the second top win was the last two lines. --no longer BLINDED I could SEE--- HAHA, I was super picky in this contest. LINDA Jan Allison April 18, 2016 at 6:12 AM WOW thanks so much Linda I am delighted to place so well - I too was inspired when I saw the daisies and it brought back childhood memories but the daisies over her eyes did blind her to the truth:-) hugs Jan xx
