This is a very beautiful poem. You communicate the theme well. The rhyming enhances the piece. The word choice paints a vivid picture.

How precious is this. I'm sure they have fun playing and doing things together. This is an adorable poem too. Grand poem. God loves you and I do too.

A child's play, together to make music. Another interpretation could be wedding vows or the actual proposal speech. Nice wording for expressing the need for the song to be sung by 2, or else it just can never be. As a couple that work their togetherness into perfection can never not be that couple.

Hello adewpearl, Brooke, Your valentine poem is better than any chocolate delight. Nothing can compare with truthful words from the heart. I especially liked:

And so my Valentine for you
needs your participation,
for only will the notes you add
complete my song's creation.

(Ahhh, you melted my heart with this one. If you didn't have a photo of your grandson and his "older" woman with him, I would call this an "ooh-la-la" poem, and it could be when sent to another.)

A wonderful poem. Keep the blue waters flowing. LateBloomer

    Thanks so much, LateBloomer. Lots of my poems are like that - they take on a different tone/slant if not paired with the photo, though strangely enough, many readers don't seem to realize that.
    You are more perceptive :-) Brooke

I thought this was a beautiful piece, Brooke. I especially loved the part of the hollow song, I thought that was the special touch that you put on this piece that really made it excellent and unique from the others. Great work overall here, thank you for sharing :)

    Thanks so much, Nancy. Nora has been taking lessons for a couple of months, and I hear she does a mean Twinkle, Twinkle :-) Brooke

Brooke: a lovely, lovely Valentine poem with perfect rhyme and rhythm flowing smoothly through our loving senses. The picture - priceless. I so look forward to new pictures of Sawyer every day when I go to this site. His smile cheers me and his grandmas words awakens me. Nice job. Linda

    Thanks so much, Linda :-) His mommy stayed home from work yesterday because she was feeling punk, so we might have to wait for new pictures for a couple of days. Brooke
