Perfect picture to match poem
Nicely done

    Wow Bill i am humbled and honoured you feel this way.
    I am more honoured to think that you go to the time to read all my poems. That means a lot to me.

    It's funny what people like. I have posted over 2700 poems on Fanstory probably 90 percent are love or romance poems. I received a good for the same poem and felt it warranted at least 5 stars for what the ratings system is worth..

    I have written nearly all of those poems unless satirical in simple but heartfelt rhyme I have been on fanstory for over 3 and a half years posting 2 poems per night. I know I am not everyone's cup of tea so to speak and average 4 reviews on my posts per night.

    I review every night and try to promote my work where time permits I have over 50 fans of which of those and everyone else I always review when they post. Obviously they haven't the time to reciprocate asthey average 30 reviews a night.

    So where am I going with all of this?

    Where I'm going is, I value you and a handful others comments and reviews more than anyone on fanstory who go to the trouble and have the impetus to comment on my simple rhymes.
    Not everyone deserve good ratings and I am probably too prolific but this is my passion to write simple rhyme and yes maybe i should spend more time on each than the 3 to 5 mins I spend writing each one.
    They are spontaneous and impromptu, They are definitely heart felt yet simple in content and as I said that is my style. It would be a boring old world if we all wrote the same hey

    Once again thanks for reading my little rave. I hope it makes sense

    With the greatest respect, for one of the most passionate guys I have read and feel I know on Facebook and I admire totally for your support and compassion

    Your Fanstory friend

Comment from Thal1959
Good

Very nicely composed, and interestingly enough, no matter the varying foot of the lines, the choice of words allow each verse to dictate and hold their own rhythm. The only oddity I came across was in the second stanza;
"I can travel many places
All around the world
See many people and many faces
And in my memory's held"
"World" and "held" does not rhyme. All other rhyme pairs work fine, except this one, which, therefore, calls attention to itself. personally, I would have used a word like "furled" instead of "held." it would rhyme with "world," and has basically the same meaning. (To be secured or rolled up.) Not exactly the same as "held," but the meaning of the line would remain. But that is just my personal opinion. It is still a very good work.

    You know I have this debate with all Americans lol
    In Australia with the Queens English, World and held do rhyme
    world phonetically is pronounced eld hence world and held. Just because you guys bastardize the English language with your spelling and accent doesn't mean its correct! lol

    with the greatest respect
    if that's the reason i lose a star lol I gain it back now with my wonderful explanation haha
    Thanks so much for your review

    I am beginning to think you "Aussie's" need to put an English language "warning label" on your works! Thanks for the clarification.

    hehe I think that maybe a good idea Thal lol
    I have adjusted the author's notes accordingly Yours in English

    Jolly good show, mite.
reply by the author on 12-Dec-2016
    haha too funny it's pronounced and spelt 'mate!'
    jolly is an English word for someone from Britain I'd say
reply by Thal1959 on 12-Dec-2016
    C'mon now, Dr Dip, don't be dippy... Mate is pronounced "mite" in Australia. When I was in Perth on shore leave, We asked the cabbie to take us to Hay street and he kept saying "high" street - just like the English do. Bwahahahaha.
reply by the author on 12-Dec-2016
    Thal its all to do with accent. Do you want me to really start on you yanks haha
    What makes your language the bench mark for phonetic pronunciation? haha
    you guys have the weirdest pronunciation of some words even though they are phonetically spelt.
    Even when the English came out on the Mayflower or when columbus cam. Where did you guys bastardize perfect English? lol

    (this is fun)

    Who can say the English were perfect at English? Maybe we colonials straightened it out, Ho-ho-ho! (And that ain't no prelude to Santa Claus.) Don't forget, that several hundred years ago, English, as spoken by the English, was so schmutched-up that the majority of literary works in England were rendered in French or Latin. It took the brilliance of Chaucer to legitimatize middle-English vernacular as a viable literary language. But just for the fun of it - if you spell world that way, but pronounce it weld, isn't that a case of accent too? 'ell, what the 'ell mite! Sometimes the Aussie vernacular 'its one on the 'ead as 'ard as an 'eavy 'ammer. I repeat, Bwahahahaha!

I am glad you were inspired by a line by a FanStorian friend and shared the resulting quatrains with alternating rhymes. You have created an evocative love poem and adorned it with a reinforcing artwork. Cheers- Joan

There is nothing greater than love when it is fresh and new. Perhaps the only thing better is love that spans the years and lasts past the first rush of emotion.

This is a sweet little declaration of love or rather it has that intention but at the moment it has become entangled in its own complexity.

A destination is where you are travelling to. So you can logically have a destination from somewhere, your start point but not to somewhere as the to is implied in the word destination. Your note as written states that you have changed it from one thing to the same thing so you haven't actually changed it, yet you have.

Your destination actually is your heart so better really to say so.

In S1. "When the destination('s to ) is your heart"

In S3. "The destination (to) is your heart"

If you can sort this out and get the the note more meaningful I would love to upgrade it.

    Dear panty with the greatest respect I don't how any of mt simple poems can be entangled in complexity..my words are always simple and from the heart its the way I write We all have different styles You love to write short stories mainly and metaphorical poetry , Where as I never write short stories and my poetry is never metaphorical in content and that is the wonderful diversity of poetry.
    on saying that I do agree with your changes thankyou
