Love poems not my speciality!

This is a very pretty, sweet and simple love poem. It reminds me a bit of the wedding song "More" so popular in the 60's. Comparing this personal love to all the majestic wonders and valuing that love more, is a statement of loving to the fullest.

This is a nice entry for the Love Poem contest, Steve, and I wish you lots of luck. It reminds me of that old 1969 hit song, "I Love You More Today Than Yesterday" by Spiral Starecase. Here's a link:

I like the repetition of "I love you more".
I especially like these lines,
"I love you more than oceans'
crashing waves upon the shore.
Though the seas roll on forever,
Oh, I'll always love you more."
This is well-written, and should be a contender in the contest.
cheers

A little bit of a mission keeping this sweet and simple without straying too far into mushy....

Yes, a few reviewers have suggested this would go great in a Hallmark card.

So very beautiful.
So wonderfully smooth.
Filled with beautiful imagery.

love you more than windy days,
your hair all tossed and blown.
I love you more than monuments,
their words engraved in stone.

Beautiful.
Have a wonderful evening.

This is beautifully written and has a tranquilly soothing feel to the imagery and meter. You actually create the ebb and flow of the tide in the way this flows in the reading. I wish you all the best in the judging and thank you so much for sharing this with me.

Actually, I am quite stunned to have even held my own against you LOL. I think I tinkled myself when I saw the tie with you ... Congratulations to you too.

beautiful! I love the repetition of I love you more
like me you write from the heartin simple heart felt words in this one not flowery not metaphor filled just simple emotion heartfelt words just one suggestion and its chicken shit but I feel it reads better when doing ABCB format that you define each verse with a space:

I love you more than springtime
when the sweet wildflowers bloom.
I love you more than roses
with their redolent perfume.

I love you more than moonbeams
on a balmy summer's night.
I love you more than fireflies,
magic stars of twinkling light.

I love you more than windy days,
your hair all tossed and blown.
I love you more than monuments,
their words engraved in stone.

I love you more than oceans'
crashing waves upon the shore.
Though the seas roll on forever,
Oh, I'll always love you more.

I think it reads better with distinct definition of the theme line being clearly defined it gives a better romance to it

thanks for sharing this wonderful poem I think you are in for a very romantic liaison with your wife tonight after that effort lol

Hey, Dip, I must have caught you on a good day, sprinkling your sixes around like this! :O)

Yes, it got a favorable reaction from the wife - I won't say any more than that. And yes, I did want to keep it simple, but use fresh comparisons. I'm very glad you felt it worked.

This poem is what we call the real love my friend. What a masterpiece you wrote here. I do much enjoyed the positiveness of the word Love. You have it all written down here in your poem. This poem is a winner no matter what, you are a winner. Hugs Terry xoxo

Hi Steve this is absolutely beautiful. It has an old fashioned love poem feel to it. Reminds me of Robbie Burns in My Love is like a Red Red Rose, sigh....... Good luck.

Did you just give me two sixers in a row - yep, I must be getting really good, or else you're getting very profligate with all those stars!!

Thank you.

I like the photo you choose to go with your poem
it is a perfect match,
You captured my attention from the first line to the last. My beloveth husband was a fisherman from his heart that picture reminded me of the week he died.
I was always at the beach letting him know I will love him as long as there water and creatures in the sea
Thank you for sharing.
