Ah! the New Year's Eve parties - everybody kissing everybody - Why not not a lasting love? I enjoyed this and wish you well in the contest.

Beautiful. This is an emotional, sweet love poem. You've done a great job with the rhyme and rhythm as well as doing it in acrostic style. A great entry to the contest.

Warm regards.

    Roisin, I appreciate your very kind compliments and review. I did fall in love with my husband the second I saw him...was SO weird. WAY before there was even a kiss! Isn't the chemistry thing weird! Again, many thanks...Sue

AH! The new Years Kiss, I remember a couple a scorchers myself, back in my day and the heat after...well, I don't think I could write about it here, ha ha. A rhyming Acrostic Sue! I'm always impressed with your rhyming friend, this is a great contest piece, it reminds me that I have to write one yet. Good luck.

Well done. This is a great acrostic that is definitely a love poem of the finest kind. There is nothing quite like love at first sight. I have experienced it! Bravo

Why didn't ya just say it was an acrostic? LOL! I always like acrostics that rhyme, so this is a winner by default for me. It gives the piece such a nice flow when read.
Best wishes cuz!

Hey, Sue, do ya realise this spells downwards -
'AT FIRST SHIGHT'?









Just kiddin, LMAO.
Lovely tender picture, though I find em both havin beards a little off-puttin. LOL

Maybe tag 'scintillating start' onto preceedin satnza?

Lovely smooth-flowing perfect long-lastin romance. can't criticize that theme, or your execution of such.
Best wishes, Ray xx

    Top 'a the mornin' to ya! Oh wait. It's my morning, not yours! HA!! I WISH I could have "scintillating start" up there, but can't. According to the rules of the contest in this acrosstic, each word has to be separate ( at first sight). Dang!! A "lovely smooth-flowing perfect..." coming from you is all I need to hear today, Ray!! Thanks for your great review! :-)) Sue

Acrostics are fun to write and can be used in several ways. You chose to write a sentences. The last one I wrote used 2 to 3 words phrases. Good luck in the contest. joan marie

Sue,

Well, this was really a great poem, my friend. Is this one of those kinds that are called Acronistic? Never mind. Your poem is beautifully written and makes sense as well. I like your idea of At First Sight.

The first thing I ever wrote was on this site when I joined in Sept. last year. It's called "My Sweet Kathy," and in it I tell of something that happened when I first saw my wife, 41 years ago. If you ever read it, see if you can discover the spot where that incident is.

Your poem, took me back to that moment again, Thanks.

Reggie

    Okay, I've started to read "My Sweet Kathy" and then got choked up when I read this part: "Thank you for loving me, Kathy. If such a thing is allowed in Heaven, will you marry me when we get there?" - I'm loving this story. Right now, I'm at the part where I've read a fantastic line! - "My name is Sam Bell and I arrived in Gonzales, Texas about a year ago. I'm twenty-two years oldā?? I will never be twenty-three." - GREAT transition! Will continue reading today and visit ya when I'm done. (Then, I'll spot the part of 41 years ago). So glad you enjoyed this, Reggie, and that it took you back. 41 years and still in love - how wonderful is that. Thank you for your lovely words. Sue
