    It's a love poem - if Hallmark would pay me a couple hundred bucks to put it on a Valentine, I would not mind seeing it on a card at all!!! Thanks, my friend :-) Brooke

A lovely and romantic piece. If only there were keys to the hearts of people. I would unlock them all and give them the fresh air they deserve.

The picture went great with the poem. I love the picture I am glade you have chosen the picture. Nothing was wrong. My favorite line in the poem is

I'd sail the seven seas to find the key you've hiden in your heart.

As a kid of the '80s, I have to say this poem is "way cool". I really like the format you chose; I think the triolet is an interesting form anyway. I also like the meaning of your poem. It's very interesting that the person is looking for the key to another's heart, and cares that much about them that they would do anything to find it. Your word choices are beautiful. I especially like the repeated lines you've chosen. Excellent work!

Lovely.
The repetitive lines have such a lilting feel, like the waves of the seven seas.

I love the line - no storms could keep my ship confined. What a beautiful metaphorical message there!

Great triolet.
Nic

When I read these poems, I imagine you in a heated romance. :) I hope that's OK. LOL! Are you still interested in selling your poems? I have come across a few leads lately and wonder if I should pass them along...

Ooh, that is so romantic and lovely....sailing seas in general makes me get all mushy feeling, I don't know why. But sailing the seven seas to find the key to someones heart is even better. Great job! :)

    I agree - sailing is purely romantic by its very nature :-) Thank you, Sara-beth. Brooke :-)

I'm having trouble writing aesthetically or about beauty something you do so well. The weakest phrase int his lovely poem is "if you your secrets should impart" you could change it to something with port perhaps or resort but don't that work with heart - barely.

No hurricane could bar my way
if at quest's end I knew I'd find
the perfect soul to share my mind,
a heart to share each wondrous day.

That hurricane would be the winds
that hurried me unto your side
and all the obstacles denied
so we were one; perfection find

a way into the person we become.
