Good morning Brooke! Hey what a lovely poem!! I was just looking at this prompt to see if I wanted to enter. I hope I can but don't remember if I have already enter my limit for this week.

Your poem is very good- light and sweet fits the style perfectly and it says much in few words...I like it (surprise right?)

By the way, the answer to Beginagain's question in her review of this poem is Marvin Gaye...

hugs -jarls

I already told her the answer is Marvin Gaye and Tammy Terrell - it's a duet! LOL I was definitely in the mood for light and sweet after three rondeaus in three days - it's Saturday and my mind deserved a little break. LOL I'm glad you like it but not all that surprised - I know you have a light and sweet side. LOL Thank you, Michael :-) Brooke

This was certainly light and sweet. It's interesting the way you professed the depth of your love by a willingness to build a bridge in the first stanza, then asked the other person to prove their love in the same manner. For a minute I thought there was no rhyme, but I went back and found the little bit you put in, so subtlely, just a touch. Wonderful job! Best wishes in the contest.

Hugs,
Diane

Diane, thank you - I love it when rhyme is present but not obvious, so I am thrilled you thought that about this poem.

I'm brain dead this morning (but I know you will have the answer) of the song this reminded me off. There's no mountain high enough,no valley low enough, no river wide enough to keep me from you...Can't remember the artist or the rest of the words...but you expressed the sentiments so well.

True love has no boundaries or obstacles to keep us apart. The bridges could be seen as the reaching out..a two way street between two people too.

Nice thought for starting my morning. Good luck in the contest.

I better get coffee, stimulate my brain so I can coherently review.

Good morning and have a great day, my friend.

Carol

The song is a duet with Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell. :-) Thanks, Carol - I know what you mean about brains not working - I just read a script that I couldn't figure out at all! LOL

I almost downgraded this poem as it ignored the obvious. I have already built on and it is made of glass. Well, in this case, fiber optics but that love is there and coursing through it.

You know one of my regrets that still amazes me, is that love finds it course and can join two hearts a thousand miles away. But it can't seemed to be found face to face out in, "The real world." I am like an alien here, when I am chastised for daring to talk as the person was engaged with text messaging a person at another bar. That's is why I decided to stay home. LOL

This poem is very nice and it does show that hearts not only want to find love, but to give out that love to somebody that truly deserves it. Very nicely done and well written.

A poem that may result in either party
building a bridge to embrace the other.
But if both would start from either
end, then a centre of harmony would be
a Godsend... Nice poem Brooke...

Dave, I'm being a bit more old fashioned than that and expecting the gentleman to do the building. LOL Thanks so much, Brooke :-)

Well I must admit that would be me, when I get there, I will put a ladder up to your window LOL

Love this Brooke, wonderfully created and presented mate. A beautiful piece about love I guess. Light and sweet, to say the least. I enjoyed reading this mate. Good luck in the contest too.

Have a wonderful day.

Brad, this contest has been run before and one thing I've noticed is that some entries in the past were not all that light and sweet though they were about love - I wrote to follow the rules! LOL Thank you, my friend. Brooke :-)
thanks so much. Brooke :-)
