Hello Brooke,
I appreciate the simple thought you put forth in this piece...that of taking "two to tango", if I may. Love truly comes into accord when a couple is committed to each other...their duet will echo through the passages of time. I liked the idea of the deal; faithful, unending love, in exchange for the compliment of the others voice. A well metered write, with an endearing message, well done. Good luck in this one...and best wishes, Bill

Hello.

Need I say more!
I like this best

My songs are all composed for two,
duets designed for voices
that harmonize to celebrate
a love the world rejoices.

Duets are the best.
Ciao

I love the picture, it reminds me of my children when they were small. Your words are perfect for the pic and the rhymes excellent. A lovely and uplifting poem.

This work has reached the exceptional level

Brilliant! How I enjoyed voicing these abcb rhyming quatrains, and it seems Sawyer is too. Iambic tetrameter and trimeter, I believe, because of the catalectic docking of a possible fourth iambic foot in 2nd and 4th lines of each stanza. If you teach this, no one seems to have tried it yet, Brooke. ;-) Peter

I've tried to sing a song to this beautiful piece, but I am tone deaf. I love the rhyming of solo and hollow. Wrote that one down for future reference. This is excellent writing, as usual.

Valentine's Day right around
the corner, and here you come
with another artful, poetic,
charming piece of writing to
commemorate this day of love
that is for indeed made for
two; and then you enhance your
writing by showing love for two
really starts at an early age,
and so Sawyer has learned that
love is meant for two.
Well done

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

How lovely is this - such a pleasure to read, Brooke
and the picture makes the whole perfect - I love his
cheeky smile.
