This is truly impressive, Lisa. Alas, no sixes are left. I am glad I went back in your portfolio and found it. Your heart is bared and the glory of the return of a loved one is being shared so well.

    What a sweet review... Sadly so much of what we write is hidden in our port.........
    I wish I could tell you which ones...but alas I can not.

Lisa,

Congrats on your first place win in the Light and Sweet poem contest. Your title of your poem Fields is well reflected in your words. The story you tell with your words is creative, and romantic and flows easily when read. You've brilliantly captured in your words thoughts of true love and what it means. Well done.

All the best,

Eugene

    Hi there Eugene,
    Thank you so much for the Congrats... I so appreciate it.
    And, for taking the time to read and review my words. I am finally back to writing, so you will be seeing more of me. I have been dealing with a new knee... and that has been a challenge.

Romantic Love story of a Someone who is waiting for their Sailor to return home from the sea. The only thing I like to know is what is a 10 count on a Rhyming Quarantine? Very interesting poem and I Wish You All The Luck in this contest.

    Thank you for asking 10 count just means ten syllables per line and a rhyming quatrain means there are 4 lines that rhyme
    Thank you so much for reading and reviewing my poem? I really appreciate it.

Your poem does describe the patient waiting that true love is willing to do. I like the fields of lavender as it conjures up both the senses of sight and smell. I also liked "taking deep breaths as night becomes morning." Best wishes in the contest!

Unless the language was all in 17th century English, I wouldn't use "thee" for the sake of rhyme.

Also, since the pronoun is the object of the preposition, it would be 'him'
awaiting patiently for only he.
It could be easily remedied to
awaiting for only him patiently

True love is beautifully highlighted in this story of a woman waiting in suspense - worrying about her sailor at sea. Will he be returning? Or will he be lost? Passionate, yet gentle. A great entry for the contest!

This is a delightfully, soft, sweet expression of love, peppered with visions of lavender fields and waves of an open sea. Your creative choice of words is heartfelt and sincere, expressing true love. Best wishes in the contest.

Thank you for sharing this writing prompt with us. Yes, true love will always return. Even if our partner dies, the true love remains and you can feel their presence. I enjoyed reading and this poem is every romantic.

It's a wonderful love poem...The tone seems heavier than "light and sweet" --

This may be my interpretation, granted.

The presentation is beautiful...

It's up to the voters now!

    Oh now that is an interesting interpretation dear Karen.
    I wrote it with the feeling that she was happy to see his return?. Safe and sound?Their love was true?
reply by karenina on 13-Feb-2024
    Yes. It's me. I read into her worry, the angst of the fickle sea...

Beautiful, my heart felt the fear. Everyone can relate. Maybe the circumstances are different, like waiting for a loved one during a blizzard or torrential rain storm, but the emotion is there. Well done.
