    I love this piece... The message that you conveyed is priceless. This is truly original love poem, it's so creative and different from all those cliche pieces that I've read lately in the love section.
    First off, your descriptions are mind-blowing. I like the elements of nature poetry within both stanzas because you painted endlessly vivid and captivating images within my mind. This poem holds breathtaking beauty.

    - Falling in lust with stunning cover,
    Not tattered spine of hollowed book.-
    ^^^
    This is brilliant. You managed to say so much within just two lines. Amazingly written.

    ... and the ending lines:

    - For I fell in love with tattered spine,
    Not the hollow front cover of his book.-
    ^^^
    These left me speechless. Truly effective ending that highlights the message of the whole poem excellently. I haven't expected it to end this way so this surprised me and truly impressed me.

    - Autumn leaves dance upon night fall,
    Whilst butterfly's prance within heart,
    Winter holds beauty unlike any other,
    As snow flakes glide gently to ground,-
    ^^^
    I love the imagery here. Whole stanza is so elegant and mesmerizing.

    Overall, this is truly remarkable write.
    I like the title, too, it is unique and it caught my attention.

    Keep up!

    I smile when I read this cause it is amazing in so many ways.
    Wow, each line is, wow! You expressed emotions on impressionable way, very unique and filled with such passion. I am honestly impressed. Repetition is somehow in background which was so much powerful and you again managed to touch me on the ending, ending line is incredible.
    This poem goes into my favorites, it is also absolutely worth of contest nomination.
    Beautiful piece, title is also very interesting and I am also amazed with the fact that you can fascinate me this much with such short poem. Your words are simply priceless.

    The title to me, is a bit odd, but it makes sense once you read the poem, and I'm okay with that. :]
    The layout of this looks nice, and I know that is weird to comment on, but the lines are all such an even length it stood out to me, I find it hard to do that, lol.
    Usually, although it's probably a sign of a better writer, I don't really like when the filler words aren't used like 'the' 'a' etc. It seems just.. wrong to me sometimes, but you definately pulled it off for me here. This is written in more of a formal language, and I enjoyed that for something different in a piece. I haven't seen that in a while. In talking about the language, you used beautiful expressions, and imagery, as well as metaphors too. I LOVE the meaning behind this piece. I adore how you didn't simply say 'don't judge a book by it's cover', or of similar meaning, you let the reader figure that out within stunning imagery and it brought a warm fuzzy feeling over me. :]
    It was great how you linked the last two lines, to the last two lines in the first stanza. After all the wonderful imagery you wrote of, you push that meaning right out at the end and link it all together, with both the first stanza, and the title.
    This is a perfect poem, in my eyes. Excellent hun. 5/5 is just not enough for this piece.

    Ah, very captivating. Unlike most love poems I've read in a long time. This is my first viewing of you work, and I am truely amazed.

    Stanza one:
    "Whisking soft scents upon horizon,
    Orange holds eyes within its glow,
    Summers breeze caresses thine heart,
    For she's mesmerized by such beauty;
    Falling in lust with stunning cover,
    Not tattered spine of hollowed book."

    ^^As a suggestion for the first line, I think it would sound better with "the" in it.
    "Whisking soft scents upon the horizon"
    Don't get me wrong, it does sound good without it, but in my honest opinion it sounds better with it.
    Vivid imagery was used in this. It was a comforting, and soothing stanza to read.
    I also liked "falling in lust". Lust seems to be a much different form of love, maybe even stronger, so I liked how you used that instead of just "love".

    Stanza two:
    "Autumn leaves dance upon night fall,
    Whilst butterfly's prance within heart,
    Winter holds beauty unlike any other,
    As snow flakes glide gently to ground,
    For I fell in love with tattered spine,
    Not the hollow front cover of his book. "

    ^^I loved how you put a nature thing to this. It creates a much more sensual image in the mind. It was refreshing reading the description of Winters beauty. The last two lines, I thought were very creative. An answer to the end of the first stanza, breathtaking.

    Compared to what I've read lately, this was a superb poem. It was a pleasure to read it.

    Take care and keep writing.
    5/5

    Wow the title just captured my attention and lured me in to read this beautiful love poem. Flawless. There is no other word to describe it. It possessed everything a love poem should...emotion, imagery, diction. nice choice of words, etc. I'm just blown away...

    1st stana...
    Your choice of words here were just mind blowing. It captured me from my reality and took me to another world where anything is possible. I loved the difference between this stanza and the second one. It was so subtle but amazingly written. She fell in lust with his looks but you fell in love with that is one the inside. Right? Well that is how I interpreted.

    2nd Stanza...
    This has to be my fave stanza. It was filled with a beautiful description of imagery flawlessly painted in my mind. The last two lines were a perfect way to end this amazing piece.

    I loved the subtle meaning behind this piece and after reading it the title made more sense. What I took from this poem is that people look at appearances to determine who they like but you look inside and accept them for who they are. Maybe I understood this wrong but I enjoyed reading it nonetheless. I could tell you put such thought and effort into this resulting in a perfect poem.

    Amazing poem you have here that I cannot stop reading. Well done *5/5*

    Your style of writing is very refreshing and always brightens me up when I read your work....Here are my thoughts on your piece:

    "Whisking soft scents upon horizon,
    Orange holds eyes within its glow,
    Summers breeze caresses thine heart,
    For she's mesmerized by such beauty;
    Falling in lust with stunning cover,
    Not tattered spine of hollowed book."

    Beautiful imagery that captures my mind and soul and brings me into this poem. I love how you say that the breeze of summer caresses thine heart, what beauty and meaning behind those words. Excellent excellent excellent!

    "Autumn leaves dance upon night fall,
    Whilst butterfly's prance within heart,
    Winter holds beauty unlike any other,
    As snow flakes glide gently to ground,
    For I fell in love with tattered spine,
    Not the hollow front cover of his book."

    First four lines: Very uniquely written, I am very moved by this piece and how you just don't say "snowflakes fell", but your word choice really blew me away! 5/5 from me, a very well deserved win too!
