    This is jam-packed full of imagery! I adore this... so so so much! It's elegant and romantic, just wonderful in so many ways!

    First stanza: You visit these markets, this street full of vendors every week...every Thursday to be exact. It automatically makes the reader think, why this specific day? If there any kind of reason for Thursdays.

    When you said Spanish and Madrid, I already saw a picture of what the streets looked like...vibrant colors, lots of people... it just really painted a picture for me!

    Upon seeing her, I wonder if you knew her already...meeting every Thursday, or if it's a "love at first site" ideal. You showcased her beauty very well with just using the word "Conspicuous" ... she stands out against the crowd, just like she would against a canvas... that her beauty is beautiful enough to paint! Love it.

    Second stanza: I'm pretty sure you are using ebony petals as a metaphor for her hair, which I've never seen before...at least not that I can remember. And then using "golden coating" as her skin type, she lights up the darkness... simply beautiful.

    You definitely captured the "actions speak better than words" here... with your lines talking about words meaning nothing but your silent language, your body language... it tells it all.

    I love the brushing of the cheek, that's always very sweet and romantic for a man to do. <3

    Ending: Love the lips dance in symmetry ... breathtaking ending!

    Love this whole piece, great job Tony!

    This is well written. Again with my disclaimer and feelings toward love poetry.

    "I've graced the Spanish culture about
    a month , every Thursday markets fill
    the cobbled streets of Madrid.
    Out the corner of my eye, I saw her;
    Conspicuous to say the least,
    as if she was in front of a plain
    white canvas ; hanging in the
    hidden chamber of my heart."

    This feels like that Barilla spaghetti commercial we have in the states. Although this isn't Italian, it sorta feels like it. Plus, "I love you" is the same. This is the whole at first sight concept. I do appreciate the "she was in front of a plain
    white canvas." That's like she's the only thing there, and the only thing you see. Which is nice. Unrealistic, but nice ;) *insert disclaimer*

    "her beautiful golden
    coating illuminates even the
    darkest nights."

    That was pretty sounding. Definitely good writing there.

    Good one, mate. :3

    "Hanging in the hidden chamber of my heart" Lovely use of words there, Tony, but the poem as a whole is so detailed and full of wonderful imagery - excellent
