Wow, I'm am delighted that I stopped by to read this gem of a poem! I especially loved the enjambment that you have at the line break "...she changes/ her mind..." You have a masterful piece right here my friend! I believe that this write will be a winner for sure (If the judge can see what I see in it)! Your picture is perfect for the poem as well! Great Work!!
