beautiful write Diana just fix the line in the 4th stanza. it has stayed on one line as you can see

Her heart does yearn for so much more than milking blood from stones;
and if you listen carefully,
you can hear her silent moans.

Her heart does yearn for so much more
than milking blood from stones;
and if you listen carefully,
you can hear her silent moans.

Beautiful romance poem

    Thank you, thank you! Your review has made my day! Not only because you enjoyed, but for the pretty blue ribbon! I do wish for myself they offered more than just a few of those ?6?. I come across some wonderful works like yours that definitely deserve that rating! Enjoy your day, my precious new friend!

"Driven By A Dream", is an extremely well-written and deftly descriptive piece. This talented poet's work was a pleasure to both read and review. To me, this is a six, but unfortunately I'm not given enough of them! I look forward to seeing your next post.

    Diana,
    my pen-pushing friend. I can never work out why we aren't given more sixes!!
    Take care and God bless,
    the Duchess !(-_-)!

A universal story is shared in your poem, because so many of us, young and old, male and female share your character's quest for love in what seems to be a cold and lonely world.

Excellent meter and precise rhyme.

The repetition of the first stanza at the end of the write underscores the frustration and futility of her quest. No doubt this is why dating sites are so popular.

Good luck in the contest.

Blessings Julia

One word comes to mind in reading this and it is poignant. Another word follows and that is honesty and then courage to express what the heart is telling the soul to an audience of readers. This is a gentle, but bold poem that I truly enjoyed. Best of luck in the contest. Loren

As a young girl I dreamed of finding a man who would be 10-15 years older than me to be my husband. My husband was almost 13 years my senior and we had a wonderful marriage and raised 3 lovely daughters. We remained married until he died shortly before our 37 wedding anniversary.
I enjoyed your lovely story poem.

    Thank you, Pat! I?m glad it moved you. I?m so sorry you lost him so soon. The hardest thing in life is to lose your best friend! Thank God for the blessings of your children and their children xo

A very well-written poem about the dream we have to find the perfect mate, and when we cannot find them soon we are driven by our dream to keep waiting until he arrives.

Great poem! Love your word choice and delivery, it had good flow. Your poem created great imagery, loved how you closed it how you began it. Awesome.
