There is something about roses that I love, and when it comes with romance and feel, as this, even more so.
A lovely entry for the competition.
Wishing you all the luck with this, Janet.
My best wishes.

Comment from Pantygynt
Red roses on your birthday and a sonnet to say thank you. It is not hard to see why you have been "married for many, many years." the romance is surely alive and well with gestures such as those to back it up.
The sonnet too is well constructed and follows all the rules and guidance for its form. May yiou see many, many more bouquets of red roses, and write many, many more sonnets.

Your glorious love poem deserves 6 stars but I have exceeded my monthly quota thereof. Not only does it dance in metrical grace but its sweet rhymes sing in perfect affinity throughout. It deserves the exalted accolades it has won. Congratulation! I find it in sympathy with my poem "VALENTINE'S DAY" now entered in the VALENTINE POETRY contest ending Feb 14. Also an ALL TIME BEST, friends say its TRIPLICATE acrostical display has never been seen on FS. Pls take a peek, let me know what you think. Lastly, I have become your Fan. Blessings. john

Comment from Mustang Patty
Hi, Janet;
Congratulations on an enduring love. My hubby and I are celebrating thirty-five years together this year. We are going on a cruise in April, a trip in October to celebrate my 60th, and then a party with friends on the actual anniversary in December.
Yellow roses show up on ordinary days - just because, so I can totally relate to this poem,

What a splendid birthday gift to your husband. You are certainly fortunate to have found such love when there is so much unhappiness in this world. Super picture to match the words and gift. Well done!

This is so romantic. The right one in our lives seems to invigorate and cause everything around us to flourish and grow. You brought this out superbly. Well done.

Comment from lyenochka
Lovely one! I liked how the moon was referenced during the "honeymoon." It is a beautiful thing when two lovers can mutually depend on each other and this one praises the beloved for being the strong guide in her life.
one grammar point:
"bound by this worlds protocol -" (world's)
