(Honest opinion alert)
I have to say, and I'm not being mean about this, I don't see how a piece about stalking someone to their mother's house qualifies as a 'love poem'. The character might have done it for love, but I don't think that necessarily makes this a love poem.
The first sentence on the Love Poems page is, "Love poems and poetry is a hugely popular section, proving romance isn't dead!" I think the kind of work the site is looking to publish is implied, without actually being spelled out word for word. We (the story moderators) are looking for poetry with passion, with fire. Everything from the anticipation and excitement of a first love, to the crushing, heart-wrenching desperation of loss.

I disagree. You focus on the events and on where he turned out to be. They are secondary here. I read a poem about someone seeking love, about lack of faith leading to a stupid action, and about losing love she so desparately wanted, before it could happen, as a result. In my eyes, this is a love poem. A poem about failing to find love maybe, but about love nontheless.
