Refrains in 8 Poetry Contest

Sponsor- Joseph May

Oh Love! Throb and thrill of my life Why you desert me in my strife? Why stay far, giving no delight? Don't fade like a symphony sweet. Won’t you come near and ease my pain Can’t you see me in sorrows lain? Be with me as my guiding sprite Don't fade like a symphony sweet. Help me set goals when I am dull Hold hand when I'm about to fall Infuse strength when I face defeat Don't fade like a symphony sweet. Make me happy when I’m in gloom From silence, what should I assume? Please don't be stubbornly quiet. Don't fade like a symphony sweet.

My dearest Valsa, what a beautiful love poem to someone you love and think so highly of. If true what a lucky person they are to have you in their lives. 'Make me happy when I'm in gloom .....From silence, what should I assume.... Please don't be so stubbornly quiet.' An excellent entry, i love rhyming therefore I so enjoyed yours. Good luck. HUGS AND BLESSINGS, Jennifer.

Incredibly sweet and profound. I would have given it a try, but my rhyming is atrocious. Best for a win, dear Valsa.

This is beautiful, Valsa:) just a heads up - Joseph requires exact rhyme, I think there's a particular rhyme scheme needed for this contest...

The expression of love, gives the souls wings, and a never-ending span of Light. Why so easy for some...and like pulling teeth from others. If for a contest, very well, poetically said. Best of luck.
