Ray wins. I was reluctant to award him top marks at first, because his piece was only ten words long, but the fact remains that it affected me the most, so to deny him the prize would be rather churlish. I enjoyed the other poems as well, though, and this has been an interesting contest. I now open the floodgates for all love poems to be posted here without judgement (well, not mine, at least).

cool!
and valued, especially from you :)
love poem:
< salvation >
heard it on the news
after somebody or other's brother
did something or other
to his sister
and after the three lives
(river flooded and all)
the cat
animal shelter
asking for salvation
and finding it
the news ends
and for the others
asking for salvation
the gas of peace
doesn't take long

No problem Ray; glad my giving you the prize held some value!
Sonnet For the Confirmed Bachelor
a bachelor hoarding tissue boxes,
the emptiness of his landscape,
where the rooks laugh from the trees
and water's song has long since dimmed,
leaving behind his lonely moaning,
and the absence of shadows
which the forest once rimmed.
now he's the only life form left
to face the tree bark's fortitude,
clearings dryer than a rehab clinic.
where once he knelt by burning logs,
he and his lover, both in white vests,
there now remains the pale sun,
and levies stuffed with damp tissues.
