Notes About The Poem

Written, February 3, 2026
For The Premiere Contest, “Voir Dire on Love”
Sponsor, Suzette Richards

Based upon the 2nd stanza from Suzette Richards poem,
“Voir Dire on Love”.

"While we’re in the vertiginous first throws of being in love,
it’s advisable to bide one’s time; and not seem overeager.
If only there was a reliable test whereby one could
measure the compatibility of one’s love interest."

Case No 2-2-2026

evidence
extreme signs of love
accused couple of hoarding Cupid's love-filled arrows
overflowing with
blue skies and sunshine

assumption
no way to predict
how that magical power
will endure time's test

judgment two years of accepting and surviving storms
