    First, Congratulations on your silver trophy win. Your poem is perplexing. That can happen when posed with an unexpected question. Marriage proposals are very serious and should never be taken lightly. Your mixed emotions answer "NO" to me. Very nicely arranged on the page. A great presentation. Surely worthy of the award you received.

    This is splendid. I can see there there is ambivalence. We love with all our might but often wonder if the person we cling to is who we should be with for a lifetime. It is kinda scary. marriage is a life-changing event that can be one of the best steps ever taken in life. It is my hope that your answer was well accepted and your folly is not foolish but enchanting.

    A wonderful take on the prompt here Poet. You followed all the rules to the letter. Thank you for this entry in my contest. I wish you the best in all your endeavors.


    Much Love & Respect ♥
