The Look of Love:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LhIt9nKKGCo
Watch, Listen, Look
Inside
Then write ........... ...... but please, please
I don't want mush
this has to be real
love with it's less glamourous side
love with the pain
breathless love
bruised love - not violent bruising, but the ache of it all
Rules:
left align
- that's it!!!
if you rhyme, make it bloody marvelous or may have to resort to shoving you
down my cellar steps!!!

My mom had me listening to Burt Bacharach before I was ten, the song "Anyone Who Had A Heart" sung by Dione Warwick still gets me everytime..

Is that like heavenly bodies orbiting each other or something? Gravitational pull? Chemical attractions?

I so totally thought this is what I'd find when I clicked:

I loved this contest for so many reasons, Gill. Thank you for hosting such a tender, ethereal, revealing contest, my Friend. Great choices for the shiny chalices, too, Sweetie. I didn't envy your task in judging, for sure. I still think AP oughta come up with a platinum trophy for some of y'all. Gold just ain't good enough.
Congratulations, one & all. Be well, Poets & Scribes.
