That Night in June

What a touching reflection on the course of a relationship over time. You make good use of the poet's tools to achieve a flowing rhythm, and the rhymes (probably because you only have two end rhymes per quatrain) are not cloying. Generally speaking I'm not a fan of refrains but it works well in this poem. Thank you for sharing.

So sorry for this late response Ben and thank you for the beautiful review.
My husband is recovering nicely from heart surgery so hopefully we have many more tomorrows.
Grandson's brain surgery while he was traveling in Taiwan was also very successful and he is back home with family.
Everyday is a gift and we feel His blessings everyday.
Blessings to you and yours.

Oh my gosh. Your poem was lovely. It was written through the eyes of innocent youth but you conveyed a history of the relationship. The imagery was lovely. You described a magical moment of first love that morphed into something more. Gretchen

What gifts we have in memories shared with someone we love. We all have some memory that lingers like your night in June. I like the way reading your words brings back our own memories.

Comment from Val Crisson
What a stunning love poem! Love the rhyming pattern here with "June" Love the line "We may have tomorrow but...I'll always have that night in June". True love goes through many passages as we age, and somehow can get sweeter with time. Hope all is well with your husband. I send hugs and love.

Hi Janet,
This is a smoothy flowing abcb love poem about a memory of a first love and maybe the first time making love with someone.
Keep writing and stay healthy.
