You have chosen to take a realistic approach to love and what it REALLY is! Your approach, to me, is successful.
"Ring" should be "wring."

Comment from Bill Schott
As much as I loved this whole thing, this stanza says it all:
Love is seeing her
look her absolute worst
laying on a hospital gurney
like a gutted cow
pushing out your child
yet knowing
you just saw her
at her absolute best ...
Great job here.

Comment from WilliamDeen
Your "What is Love?" Poem, Ain't Love Grand?, is perfect! You have captured REAL LOVE in its truest form. I think my favorite part was:
Love is being at home
in your own skin
and sliding around on top of his.
But I really like ALL OF IT!!! Smooth and easy cadence! Great flow!

Poet X,
Your free verse poem is beautifully written with wonderful imagery painting a picture of in the readers head. The art work is stunning that you used. Your poem is filled with excellent alliteration usage and fine metaphor usage. Very good rhythm and great descriptive writing accentuates your poem. I enjoyed your lines: "Love is seeing him well up during a chick flick and pretending not to notice Love is seeing her look her absolute worst laying on a hospital gurney like a gutted cow pushing out your child"
Comments: I wish you good luck in the What is Love writing prompt with your well-thought-of poem. Would I recommend your poem to other reviewers? Yes, I would. Nice day to you.
Missy.

Comment from Erika Noren
Wow, great poem!
Great tone, sometimes very sweet, sometimes frank. Gets across the ups and downs of love and relationships really well. I like the title, too, for that reason. Nice that it's not predictable or cliched which poems about love tend to be.
Only hangups I have are the use of the adjective "stellar" with constellation - not sure if that's a pun or what but it seems kind of like saying a "solar sun" or a "floral flower" to me.
Also I would consider making some of the lines and stanzas a bit longer as it's kind of broken up and stretched across the page, makes it hard to read and doesn't flow as well as it could.
But all in all really enjoyed it so thumbs up from me.

Wow, terrific review thanks a million. I took your "stellar" (lol) advice and closed up the gaps. I definitely think this has a bit more structure now. Thanks so much for the keen eye and delightfully helpful review. Cheers...

I also moved "stellar" a little further up in the stanza and away from constellation...I guess its like saying "little small"...like you pointed out. Many thanks. Very much appreciate it. Probably overkill there. LOL

Friend, no apology. This site I believe is 'give it the way you feel it'. You actually did a good justice to the theme not minding whose ears is pinched. You came out with both the positives and negatives of love. Good job.

Comment from djsaxon
I so have to sixer this. What a fabulous honest write. Totally on the money. It encapsulates everything that is right about a committed and long standing relationship. Love the to and fro of the positives, and the not so negatives (just a loving affirnation of the reality. One nit - "ambiant" should read "ambient". Loved also the alternating POV between husbandandwife Great write, my friend. Stand proud. Thank you - DJ
