lovely, as always. Your poems always delight and are so smooth and easy. (easy meaning one does not have to struggle to find a way through, not that it is simply done). Thanks for a great write!

As someone with a five-year-old son, I can relate. There are no words to describe the love for a child. The words of your poem fit the picture perfectly. Nice flow with deep meaning. Enjoyed.

Dear Brooke, This is a lovely poem that says "you win my heart and my love for you is immeasurable" :) I like the rhythm of this. It's as though there's a silent 4th line in each stanza which is like a musical rest where the beats are still counted. I especially liked
"for feelings never hesitate,
and there's no need to calculate
a love that cannot be denied".
Best wishes in the contest!
God bless, Christine

the power of your winsome smile. (Never have truer words been spoken. I am a sucker for those adorable little grins. I give into them often. Loved your awesome poem.)

Well, if that could have been written better, I don't have any clue who would have...or could have. It is so positive, clean and crisp, and thought-provoking. Wonderful poem.

Comment from Kimberly216
I love this as always girl. So true. Why even calculate when it can't possibly be done. Wait a minute. For the dirt bag mom of my step child - maybe I can - 0.

Comment from Bill Schott
I like the use of the extended metaphor of the calculator. Numbers, sum, calculate, all work to create the sense of the immeasurable.

This is a beautiful poem! I love the choice of words and the rhyme. I really like how you used calculations to illustrate a picture of endless love. Great job!

Comment from N.K. Wagner
The poet is obviously madly in love and has done a wonderful job expressing it in this great poem. And I do not for one minute believe real work gets done is such a neat office. :D Nancy
