Beautifully landscaped with excellent flow and cadence. Simple but beautifully so. How sweet to be in love and yet fully expect to love more. I apologize for no constructive criticism, I have none. I am simply awash in the beauty of your pen.

Very nice poem. I loved the sweetness of it. It could easily be on a hallmark card. Old fashion in a way but there's nothing wrong with that. Nice job.

Assuming masculinity from the Steve in the name, all I'll say is it sounds like this gal has a ring in your nose. Last
gal I talked like that to used me for Charmin. Kidding.
Why octrains instead of quatrains? Oh,well. Excellent poem.

Octrains (Octets?) because I felt like it. Ring in the nose? Not if she loves me the same way, you old cynic!

Thanks for the kind words.

Thanks, jenny.

Yes, I was going back to basics a little with this one. Several reviewers have made the comparison to Hallmark greeting cards - I'll take that as a compliment.
