Your poem expresses a length of time in a marriage that is hard work to continue to make it durable. You did a great job. Good luck in the contest. Shirley

Comment from Jesse James Doty
I don't care about the syllable count I just love what you said and how you said it! This love poem soars where others go south and you have said in whatever syllable count the essence of what a union between two people means! Struggled through fires and forged a diamond is creative and realistic and it resonates with me entirely!
Thanks for setting it straight and going for the gusto of a love union!
Have a love-filled day!

''And forged a diamond''
Not many would think of that. This is hardcore, yet softens the heart and mind. This is a quote worth keeping. To whom meant is worth its weight in more than gold...just a forever thing.
Bravo.
Best wishes.

I agree this is hardcore... I was having a Leonard Cohen moment of truth... But, glad the upside shone through... thanks again RG. di
Comment from MissMerri
Well, I'm glad you wrote this one because I certainly enjoyed reading it. I love love poems though. I really liked the metaphor of the forged diamond, which makes so much sense to me. Marriage is often like that... fires and pressure and struggles, but SO worth the living through, so that in the end you enjoy the diamond you have created. Excellent Valentine poem. Good luck in the contest. MM

Some of the syllable counters count "fire" as one syllable, whereas where I live it is always two syllables. It is probably the same with "diamond". Nevertheless, it's a great entry for the contest, meaningful and authentic, realistic but beautiful. Best wishes.

A succinct poem that says so much in so few lines. The idea of 'Struggled through fires And forged a diamond' is a wonderful metaphor. It is original and unlike other love poem's. Well done.

The author's words are heartfelt, loving, clear and creative. Twenty-Six
years is a long time and I pondered on the beauty of true love. The poem
flows and connects well. The artwork goes well with the words and
theme of this poem.

Comment from Theodore McDowell
Great poem for the Valentine's Day contest. I love the phrase struggled through fires. I also like the note that emphasizes commitment through the ups and downs as a key to a long haul marriage.
