Thanks very much for such an excellent review, a.w.brooks. The fact that my writing has evoked some emotion for you is one of the highest compliments a reader could extend to a writer, I feel.

So, thanks again. I sincerely appreciate what you said far more than the wonderful six stars.

This poem caught my imagination and heart. It gives hope to every couple as they age that love is an enduring ember that will burn with a vigorous flame to the end. Well done.

Thank you very much for your wonderful gift of six stars and fabulous review, Rod. Do you feel the music was a distraction as you read? I'm just curious if you felt it was, as I am thinking of deleting it.

reply by rod007 on 22-Nov-2014

Nope, as far as I'm concerned, the music enhanced your wonderful poem.

Thanks, I think I'll keep it. :}

This meets the contest requirements beautifully. This is well written but I had to pull it out to focus on the reading of it as the music was very distracting. I wish you all the best in the voting and thank you so much for sharing this with me.

Thanks, gypsymoth, I kinda think so. Of course, my opinion is very biased, LOL...

Beautiful romantic poem in its entirety -- perfect acrostic with the accompanying music. The thoughts flow consistently and in graceful expressions. I love the closing two last lines. An enjoyable read. Thanks for sharing.} Lin

like winter's rose - add apostrophe for possessive
good alliteration and assonance in withered like winter's rose
good alliteration in loving linger, burn blue and starlings serenade
hope, delicate as a lady's finger - effective simile
lovely expression of heartfelt emotion in good poetic form in your solid acrostic for Through The Years

Thank you, Mary, I'm very pleased that you enjoyed the poem. I appreciate your supportive comments, as well as the six stars.

Hi,

Nice acrostic emphasizing endearing love over the years. Aptly titled.

Nice formatting--although the the black font against the darker gray is a bit difficult--my eyes are seeing squiggles. Perhaps a shade lighter gray would help.

Nice presentation. Good luck in the contest.

Cheers & Blessings
Keep Smilin'... Jax (*.*)
