It is filled with teenage angst. I wrote like that when I was in high school. We feel things so deeply then. Everything is monumentally important. I have books full of this stuff somewhere. Did it work out? Karen

    Thanks Karen for your review. Yes it was full of teenage angst. I re-discovered this poem when looking through some old memorabilia. It was meant to be.
    No, it did not work out in the long run. We still touch base. Life has moved on.
    Take care.

    I wrote like that when I was in High School too. Only worked out for awhile. We still contact each other from time to time. But hey, we had our time. All good now.
    Take care

This "first poem" was much better than the first poem I ever wrote, and it's better than most I have written since then. LOL. I liked the individual vs. couple theme. Thank you for sharing, and best wishes to you.

    Thanks for your kind review. I know you jest about your own poetry but it is interesting where we travel after our first one- poetry that is.
    Take care and have a great day.
    Cheers

This is really quite beautiful. Any relationship that is going to have a chance needs to have that respect for individuality that you highlight here. A beautiful picture to accompany the poem too.

An honest post Barry about learning to make compromises in a relationship to make it work, especially when we have love for one another, respect is paramount in a relationship. I enjoyed your poem, love Dolly x x x

That is nice, grammatically incorrect but nice. Sorry I could resist of course you said I am I and rhymed it with Eye to eye. I really like it, you can be rightly proud of this. I wish you well thanks for sharing.

This is a nice love poem. I like how you acknowledge that you and your partner are different, but are also very similar. Arguments may arise from time to time, but it is important to work through them and put love first. Great work!

I find it interesting to go back and read my old poems as well. Reading this old one of yours it is easy to see that you were born a poet. It is a gift that can't be taught, only improved upon. Nice job.

Those first poems are always special. I think about mine from time to time. I can almost recite it, and that is all that's left. I don't have a copy of it written down.

    Paul,
    Thanks for your review. Yes, first poems play a special part in our life history. I am trying to get a lot of my writings, both poem and prose into one collection. Fan Story is helping somewhat in that regard.
    Take care and have a wonderful day.
    Regards
