Well, very nice. This poem really expresses strong emotions and holds a good message. It's nice to hear that you have someone like that in your life.

I thought this was written well and was easy to follow. For me, it was an enjoyable read.

Thanks for sharing.

This is a beautiful, nice free-flowing poem. The rhyming fourth line in each stanza serves as a nice transition and connector from one stanza to the next. Very well written.

Your writing is invariably much more than pleasant. The poem has perfect choice of words and makes a lovely read.
A love poem from your heart; each stanza speaks of your love for your lady. What a wonderfully romantic love song. A beautiful refrain of gratitude. thank you so much for sharing your creativity. Well done indeed with this splendid work.

Awwww Grant, that's absolutely beautiful. I think any woman would be lucky to hear you singing those words to her. What a wonderful flowing song. Now all you have to do is record it so I can hear it. LOL Very, very nice to start my Monday with. Thank you so much.

This is really nice.

Your first line is great (the porridge) -- it's relaxed, tender, kind of down-home, and imaginative. Who doesn't want to feel like that?!

Also the second stanza is good -- the juxtaposition of these images says a surprising amount about how someone can fill you with ebullient joy and excitement, and courage.

Judging just by this piece, I'd say you have a skill for offering simple images that are creative and impactful.

Best wishes to you and more happy writing,

Deanna

    Hi there DeannaRoss,
    Thank you for taking the time to read and leave your thoughts on my post.
    "Judging just by this piece, I'd say you have a skill for offering simple images that are creative and impactful."
    Yes that is kinda my MO as a poet, with the only addition being maybe 'evoking real emotions'

    Again I thank you and you will find a smorgasboard within my portfolio should you venture in!
    lol

Dear mrgrunty,
This is quite delightful writing. The splitting of an iambic heptameter line into two, followed by your iambic pentameter is brilliant and produces a series of bite sized chunks of verse, which are so easy to read and look so much better. I have one query, however,
I believe that the line:
"You give me hope on which I
can aspire."

should read:

"You give me hope TO which I
can aspire."

Regards
Reg

    Hi there Reg,
    thankyou again for checking in on my postings and also leaving a thorough, well constructed review.

    I have wrestled with myself in thought over your suggestion and I do concur. Thanks mate for highlighting that for me and I will now tweak it.
