I do wish I had a 6 to give you for this one. It is a marvelous entry for this contest. It flows beautifully, excellent rhyme and perfect rhythm too. I really enjoyed this one.

"for only will the notes you add/complete my song's creation" - This is the epitome of a true love bond. I think this speaks to any type of love in any type of relationship (family or otherwise). It's timeless. Brilliant!
Good luck in the contest.

What a nice poem, Brooke. I love harmonizing. I am an alto. I really like this for a Valentine poem. Especially if both can sing! teehee. Miss Sally

Good Afternoon, Brooke!

What a superb poem and entry for the Valentine's Contest. I admire your use of music as the metaphor to describe a perfect union/relationship between two people.

The meter and rhyme are spot-on, thus making the read flow beautifully, as does perfect harmony in music.

This should do well in the competition. Best luck to you!

duets designed for voices

a love the world rejoices."

This is a happy read. I am glad to get a chance to read one that is refreshing. Thank you for sharing it. I think I'll stop reading for the rest of the day. Well done, Brooke. There are probably more happy messages, but I'd just be taking a chance.

This is a beautiful quatrain poem (my favorite) for Valentines Day, it'll be here before you know it. All the stanzas are rhymed perfectly, but the last one just sounds like it should be on a real Card. Great job and I wish you good luck. Take care. Bill

Brooke:

What a great picture. I am now convinced Miranda takes
pictures the same way I do - with the continuous phase
on so she can get that special picture - thank goodness
for digital. I love this Valentine poem for that cute
little grandson of yours.

love,
jan
