I see why this was a top contender for poem of the month--and such a lovely ode to your husband. The metaphors and imagery are genius; you're poet extraordinaire.

I had to read this poem when I saw it was a winner. How DO you continue to create beautiful poems consistently? And you wrote a book too?
You were born to write and d I'm so glad you do!

God took away my eyesight and handed me a pen. This has been quite the journey for me and something I never would have imagined for myself. Prose came first then poetry by surprise.
Sending you my best today as always,

I didn't mean to be short. My
ex. mother-law died and we
are getting ready to go to the
funeral out of state. Don't
review my new poem until I
can get some points on it. May
be tomorrow or Sunday.
Love you sweet friend!

My husband is my safe place. He keeps me centered and is an angel. I'm glad you found this special person, it's a person we all need in our life. Wonderful job

Thank you for sharing your very special Nonet and congratulations on your recent 44th anniversary. We just a little ahead of you with our 48th. Your poem is quite evocative and reinforced beautifully by the splendid "Wave" and your sailing metaphor. Cheers- Joan

Dear Sally,
First - Happy Anniversary.
Second - congratulations on this perfectly lovely poem. Beautiful sentiments, but I guess that comes from a happy marriage.

Sally: I will be writing again in January. I completed a NaNoWriMo in November with 55,000 words in 22 days. Lately, I've been decluttering, cooking soups, and entertained my daughter, Annie. She came home for early Christmas. I got the books, magazines and computer off her bed. Oh, well...it's my office when she is back home. LOL. Merry Christmas. nancy

Sounds delicious in every way. See you soon and have a wonderful Christmas. Sal xo

Aaaaah... you are certainly in the romantic mood this month, my lady!! ;) :) A beautiful nonet of love's proclamation!! ;) :) I would be remiss as a 'sailor's wife' [not military but still very much a sailor... :) :)] if I didn't say that if you turn into the wind, you won't go anywhere - lol!! ;) S'okay, I know what you meant, but you know how silly little things stand out to the nerdy brain sometimes...? :) :) Your husband is a very lucky man, and you, Lady Sal, sound to be quite blessed! ;) Thanx for sharing! :) Yvette

Can you believe we married just before Christmas? My mother thought I was daft. Not really, she loved Jackson. Jack had a two week break from college, so we did it. Love that man of mine. So glad your enjoying my romantic month. :)
Sending you my best today as always,
