Hi Tootie, This is just the loveliest thing... letters between two people in love. I think we have some of these put away in our family somewhere. I just love, love letters... don't you? The ones we have, talk mostly of family and friends and news from home... things you would say to keep a man's mind off the things around him. A very sweet write. :)

I would never argue with a romance. Your story and your poems are in depth, to the point and feel most sincere. I wish you good luck in your writing.

When you co-author how do you divide the points and funds? Just wondering about that. This is a sweet love letter, well two love letters and two poems, telling of the love separated lovers feel for each other. Well done. I saw no errors. Rox

My dad joined the Army before his draft number came up. He'd heard it was easier than if you were drafted. Not sure there's any truth to it, but who knows. I enjoyed reading. This is a good story.

Lovers torn apart by war must suffer dreadfully. I can only hope your two characters come through in the end. Nothing to suggest and thanks for an entertaining read. The inclusion of the poems are a nice touch.

This work has reached the exceptional level

I enjoyed reading this a lot. You have fined-tuned your characters voices. The read flowed nicely. Thank you.

Just a couple of point:
My heart squeezed and I could feel my belly flop -- I don't know if this is down to a difference between the U.S. and the U.K., but flop here really means to let down, a failure. Personally, I think flip better. Just a thought.

Being a stickler for accuracy when a novel uses a real-life setting or circumstance, I checked the songs The Beatles played on their Ed Sullivan appearance. You're correct. A BIG THUMB UP for that!

What a beautiful chapter. Their love sounds so sweet and beautiful. The poems were a lovely touch in their letters to each other. I hope he makes it back home to her.

Fine start to your story - now some action - to combat the sadness. I've written many poems that are letters either from husband to wife or vise versa - from and to war zones. It's the little details that help make the story come alive - you've done this with your details. Good job.
Does the man's poem actually come from a guy? A guy might write shorter - what do you think?
My now husband and I began writing while he was stationed in Japan (after the second war ) he was so funny - sure made me want to meet him. All my girlfriends liked for me to read his letters aloud. He enlisted at l7 - and after he was away, got a draft notice. Hmmm.
Your story brings back memories.
good job.
