Comment from Joy Graham

Excellent

Congratulations on being together for twenty years. In our modern society that is quite an achievement. Today I celebrate 36 years of being married to the man I love.

I enjoyed your acrostic Valentine poem for this contest :) My favorite moment was when you rhymed gaze with days. That is awesome :)

Best wishes in the contest.

Sincerely Joy xx

This discovers the love story, age or time is immaterial, love is love, she loves him the same even after two decades, love is still growing, evolving and longing; well said, well done. Keep Writing Inspire Changing -- DR ALCREATOR

Aww, this poem warms my heart twofold. Obviously, Bobby is a special man who inspires such a lovely and romantic poetry as this one. He must be smiling from ear to ear after reading this poem written in his honor.

Good luck in the contest.

Dear Poetic Friend - You're absolutely right about Bobby being a special man. And he's good to me every day. As you imagined, he was so happy to read this piece last night and see how it looked in color on the site, too!

Thank you for your nice note, and thank you for the five-star rating, as well. xo

My favorite line is "faithful is your stock in trade." My only suggestion would be to bold the first letters so that your acrostic "Lifetime" is clear to the reader. I almost missed it. Good job in not only writing an acrostic poem but in rhyming also.

That's a good suggestion, Stephanie. I'll have to see if I can make that change.
Thanks, too, for the five stars. xo

How lovely to feel like that. I feel the same about my hubby, 25 years on. I really enjoyed this valentine's piece, it was sweet without being over-sentimental and mawkish. Hope you've read this to your love.

Thank you, Sarkems - and congratulations on 25 years of a loving marriage.
Love poems can be a little much, so I appreciate your saying that mine stayed on the 'enjoyable' side of that fine line.

I very much appreciate the five-star rating. Thank you!

Good

I love stories and poems with happy endings, and it was lovely to read your note that it has been twenty years of love. What a wonderful week to be thinking of this. Happy Valentine's Day to you and Bobby!

Thanks, Elmorose! Valentine's Day has always been my favorite holiday. I mean, really, how can it miss: Red - my favorite color, pink - my next favorite color, chocolate - no explanation needed there! Plus jewelry and love! I hope your Valentine's Day is happy, too.

Thank you, Christine. The laughter is my favorite part, too: every day he cracks me up way more than just once.

I loved this review and very much appreciate the five stars. I hope you have a Happy Valentine's Day, too. xo

A very well-written Valentine's poem. Not everyone is lucky to find their lifetime love that we never get tired of. Some heroes become disgusting human beings that we wonder what we see in them in the first place.

You're so right about that, Sandra; Time is the final testament of an entity's success.

Thank you for your review and the five stars. I appreciate them both. xo
