He Was Her Valentine On this seasonal wonder of a day, one arrow tipped in celestial honey pricked her pristine heart. Mellifluous, shadows, shoulders, hands of gentle touch opened her to aromatic atoms of love. Into the night and forever, her heart echoes thulian pink in the aftermath of a garnet beginning. ©Kathryn McLoughlin Collins ©January 23, 2013 for a contest using ten words within a poem: echo, pristine, shelter, garnet, shadow, celestial, mellifluous, seasonal, thulian, aroma

I love how you used these words Kathryn. A pink afterglow in her heart from the passion of deep red. Awesome!

Very touching excellent poem written by a very good poet. I saw that you view another poet named Margherita Russo she's only 14 and I know it would mean alot for her to have you read her newest poem if you have the time. Thank you very much.

Oh my, Kathyrn...the reference to earth's minerals, shining gems, etc. in the last verse just floors me!...Had to read this beauty several times!...Oops, just saw this is for a contest?...A true 'gem' nonetheless (you're kinda getting the hang of this poetry thing, aren't you?) Much love to you my friend - Tim

An interesting way to 'inspire' a poem... more rigid than other 'structures', I suppose...I don't think I'd be up to it... Nevertheless, you have made a very fine work, Kathy... nice imagery, I enjoyed it! Love Terry (plus, I learned a new word "thulian" - I had heard of "thulium" before, but I don't think thulium has a thulian hue...)
