Don't Dash Comments

I make a practice of not scoring new writers but if you hog-tied me and threw me to the ground I would give this poem a 10! ;)

Well done! The title attracts attention. I was impressed by the use of repetition in " love doesn't dash, it loiters" but it was a wise choice not to repeat it in 3rd stanza. " so dally with me, my love" correctly advanced the poem to its closure. You are a teen and perhaps writing to a teenage audience which is fine- -for someone of my age, " mess about" runs the risk of ruining the mood. You have obvious talent, anais.
