This is a very Valentine-appropriate poem that renders the hopeful message of togetherness and mutual admiration that we all should want to establish. Nice.

What a sweet poem of love and emotion.

And the need for another to join in finishing your gift shows you are incomplete without them - thus without their love. I like it.

This is a beautiful poem from the author. Again, I am thrilled to see a beautiful picture of Sawyer. This brightens up this cold January morning and brings a smile to my face.

This is a really nice Valentine. The song metaphor works very well in defining the relationship. It gives you scope for extended imagery eg 'composed for two', making it a lyrical and enjoyable poem of love.

Wow, I really enjoyed this Valentine poem. Really enjoyed the message, the rhyming, and the rhyme scheme of 8-7-8-7 syllables in each line. A very tight poem. Loved it. LorraineK

Outstanding Valentine's Day contest entry. This one will be very very very hard to beat. :}

Thank you for sharing who knows Sawyer and Nora could be the next Donnie and Marie.


Best of luck in the contest.

Wonderful opening lines in the first two stanzas. Nice use of musical terms: solo, duet, harmonize, notes. A unique love poem perfect for Valentine's Day.

A beautiful poem, Brooke, accompanied by a precious photo. Little Sawyer is getting big! This poem worked well within the meter and rhyme pattern you set, and made for easy reading. I felt this poem worked for all kinds of love, romantic or not, which made it all the sweeter reading.

Blessings,

~ J.
