The Heart's Yield

She did not yield to his advances Playing hard to get, taking chances He sent her a bouquet of red roses As his quest for love he poses Love becomes a game of pursuit In an attempt to capture her heart Like a tango in steps so cute As she dances to the beat he imparts Soon he will close in on his desire She's the lovely flower in the field Then they will spark love's fire And to love's pursuit she will yield 11-30-2021 ''Y'' Contest, New Poems - Poetry Contest Sponsor: Constance La France

Ah, Joseph, such a beautiful poem. Indeed, she plays the classic game of hard to get which serves to grow her suitor’s ardor, with the desired end result achieved. Your expressive imagery is admired, my friend. Congratulations for your excellent win in Constance’s contest. Warmest wishes.. ~Susan

When the time is right, everything seems to fall into place. A heart yields for a reason. Love is a beautiful emotion, and she wanted to make sure his intentions were honest and sincere. This is beautiful in some many ways. Your thoughts caress softly around me. Hugs, Brandy

A good one, so well-written, Joseph. You know, it is true that love is basically a game of pursuit. The problem is how do we keep 'em after we catch 'em? Good stuff, my friend. Good luck in the contest.
