The key to my heart
would be a difficult one
to interpret and even harder
to find; this lock is made
from the softest type of love
and it can never be opened
it's always been closed
and I am glad for I can't trust
but I am always willing to be found by a key
which will understnad the correct combination
to break through the tiny barrier; right into
my very heart. So give it a try though I warn
this may be the most difficult thing to achieve
and your key might get broken along the way
so, do you still want to try to open this lock?

I can see the effort here. I cannot do shape poetry, which is why I held the contest. Your message is a beautiful one, and I appreciate you sharing.

i have to say... this did look like a key... though in the beginning i thought this was supposed to be a kep (derived from the tittle) then i realised it was supposed to be a lock! (i know i can be slow sometimes)
Hey, you know something! you really rock at these... shape poetry! i tried it and sucked! so i gave up! Anyways... best of luck in the contest! the poem rocked!

OH MY
this is so cool.
although it didn't look like a lock to me, it's the thought that counts..
i loved the way you titled the poem "The Key to My Heart" and shaped the poem into a lock.
Great metaphorical use
