I do agree. Opposites often attract and that keeps things interesting. Thank you for sharing this contest entry with us. I enjoyed reading and wish you luck with the contest.

Thank you!
Comment from Sally Law
Oh my, we're married to the same guy? Just kidding, but frighteningly close. So glad you have a good man and he has you. A rarity in this world.
A wonderful poem for the prompt too. Good to see you back on Stotyland, Rachelle. :))
Sending you my best today as always, and my very best wishes in the upcoming contest.

Comment from Pam (respa)
-Nice artwork, Rachelle, good to see you posting again.
-You wrote a very good poem with effective imagery.
-It flows well with many good examples about opposites attracting.
-You do a good job showing him, her, and conclude by showing how it all works.
-I can't choose a favorite verse because all of them are good.
-I think the ending verse and closing lines get across the essence of the relationship.
-I like how the line about agreeing leads to the reason why you love him.
-Well done; good luck!!

Thanks for this thorough, encouraging review. And thanks, too, for the tip on how to make it contest-viable. I've now written to Tom to enlist his help in the matter.

You are very welcome on both counts.
Comment from Bill Schott
This poem, Mr. Perfect, describes both the subject and his object of affection which seem to be suited to each others druthers in a forever get-together.

Comment from Debbie D'Arcy
I like this, Rachelle, particularly in its dream-like sequence. Your verse is fun, simply expressed and with a rhyming pattern which doesn't quite match at the beginning but who cares:) It just gives the reader a sense of having enjoyed the ride. Ideally I'd prefer the fourth stanza last line tightened up a little maybe by losing the 'our'? But the sentiments are magical and reveal a very winning sense of humour and lightheartedness. Great job and good luck! Enjoy your Sunday! Debbie x

Thanks for the very helpful feedback...and, of course, your encouragement and enthusiasm, as well. I agree about that last line. Now I just have to get the technical aspect to cooperate. I go in there, and, I swear, I can see no text unless I highlight...and then, I can't delete. I never had such issues before! Thankfully, though, I am in nothing in this world if not tenacious!

Speak to Tom in Support, Rachelle. Or failing any useful advice there :( I think it was Wayne Fowler who wrote a long ranting post about problems with the site.... It's infuriating I know. Good luck! Dx

Thanks for the tip. Sometimes prolongedperseverance gets frustrating!
Comment from Lisasview
Very sweet poem with promises of tenter love... no matter what the difference!!!!!
And, there usually are loads of differences...but that is what makes it all the more interesting...
Very nice read,

Thank you! It would be so difficult for me to be married to someone who's my personality twin!! Yiiiiikes.

For sure...
You are most welcome
Comment from Michele Harber
Yes, opposites do attract. My husband and I started out as opposites in so many ways, and yet we fit together so perfectly, and now we've found a common middle ground, that allows for our differences and our similarities.
It sounds as though your and your husband's differences have made you two a perfect match. I guess love does conquer all.
Your poem is very romantic, and has a nice, bouncy rhythm. Good luck in the contest.

Comment from rama devi
I enjoyed this whimsical and witty entry for the contest, and what a pitch perfect closing note. Humorous and wise. Entertaining and inventive (great slant rhymes!)
Just minor critique points. Not sure why a match is in quotes? I recommend removing those.
I found the hyphenation here distracting:
He's math'matical,
Maybe try something like:
He's a math wiz,
This made me smile. Nice to see you posting again, dear.
Good luck in the contest!
Big hugs,
rd

Comment from lancellot
I like this poem and I like how you have the last line rhyme in a couplet way. Except for the first two. Match and Clash. I would recommend rethinking those.
Also, this is good but it is listed as prose in a poetry contest. If you don't have Tom switch it, this will likely be disqualified, and you'll never be notified.
