Sixteezkid,

This tetrameter chain is nicely done. I enjoyed the rhyming pattern and the meter of this poem. The message is perfect for this poetic style.

Oh how timely. I've just got back from mass and an old school sweetheart was there, she is still single at 45.
She kept blushing, how does a bloke win a lasses heart like hers. Her friend is my best mates mum who loved me since I was born. I felt guilty in mass thinking of her couple of yummies. Darn it, she is 3 or 4 inches taller than me now. But I won't sleep tonight, thinking of imaginations. Yikes sorry, I digress... A poem where it's like a Sunday afteve, ahhhhh... Dreamy, it flows well, but now I'm in a dreamy state...

If you look at the pic, there is another shape in the pink..Huh did I just say that... No pun...

Very clever, very smooth and very nice to read Sue, I would of posted it under romance rather than general poetry though, it is very romantic friend at least I think so. You showing off with another format, NICE!

    Thanks, Hitch. I really wanted to work with that rhyme scheme. I can't say that I'm over-enthused about this piece, but I tried!! Did some editing after your review. Needed more adjustments. Thanks so much for your very kind review! :-)) Sue

A beautifully written poem, Sue. Great word choices you've made here, each stanza smoothly leading us through the story so easily. Great writing, Sue.

Blimey Sue, you're gettin a bit technical!
Maybe 'asking' instead of abbreviated 'wond'ring'?
Excellent meter and romantic sincerity makes for an excellent read. Best wishes, Ray xx

    Yeah, Ray...I do love to try out new formats! Even though I did go free verse a coupla times there. :-)) - Ray, I worked on this late into the evening. Perhaps should have waited to post. Because you're right about the "won'dring". A tongue twister!! But, the word "ask" is in the previous line. So, a little work today for me. Thanks for highlighting that. And for your very kind review! Sue

So won'dring not when, why, or how
But only take this lover(')s vow,
That each of us accept, allow
The ebb or flow - the aft or bow.


only the one spag. great job. enjoyed it.

Very nice romantic poem; talks of a relationship that is growing without words. Nicely done. The rhyming scheme works nicely together too.

    cwebb, you gave me 3 stars which means "NEEDS WORK". Yet, you compliment the work throughout. Is this in error, or if not, can you please comment on where it does need work? Thanks very much, Sue
reply by cwebb on 20-Dec-2008
    Sue; the poem is properly done and I and another person both looked at it and the rhyming scheme is correct. The poem is lacking punch and orginality. It is difficult to say how to put that into a poem, but that is my impression. Thanks very much. CW

This is a good poem with nice rhythm and rhyme and essence of new love. I likethis line: Their inner souls met long ago.

This is a very sentimental piece - you don't write greeting cards, do you? My favorite line: "With passion strong, we let it grow."

I hope this helps and good luck.

    TheDon, after you've told me that I should write greeting cards before, I think maybe I should go look for a job! HA!! Thanks for the great review and for highlighting your favorite line! :-)) Sue

    Well, at least I'm consistent - and so is your writing!
