Ain't Love Grand?

Comment from Earl of Oxford
Hi, P.
I don't know why I wasn't notified of this post.
I was concerned by your absense and checked out your portfolio and noticed this gem.
You certainly sum love up as far as is possible, and from BOTH sides which is unique in my limited reading experience.
Blimey, what a thoughtful soul you are:
'connection, friendship, bond, trust, forgiveness, shared experiences, tolerance, sex ('sliding around on his skin' and 'sleeping on the wet spot' are wonderful and fun examples), and acceptance.'
With that lot going for it, then 'love sure is grand'.
Hubby is a very lucky bloke.
A 'sixer' for all the thought, humour and common sense you've put into this special poem.
Best wishes, earl x

The art work is great and love can be great.
We all have good and not so good days.
Loving someone maybe for a short while
Or being married for many years that is great
Marriage is not good for some
A life time for others.

This is cute and raucous. There's a lot of times when love is simply just the reason you want it to be, Wonderful and full of passion.

Comment from Connie C
Oh, I really like this, mystery poet. You seem to cover a lot of the aspects of marriage here, and your free verse carries me right along being that I am so engrossed in what you have to say here. I like the reference to keeping the door to the throne room open occasionally. When in love, we should hold nothing back. As you say here, "ain't love grand." My best to you in the contest.

Comment from MissMerri
This is truly REAL and a wonderful description of Love. I especially loved this part:
Love is seeing her
look her absolute worst
laying on a hospital gurney
like a gutted cow
pushing out your child
yet knowing
you just saw her
at her absolute best ...
That is so sweet, and so true! (I think you meant "lying" rather than "laying" though)
This is a true description of married love... the enduring kind. I think this is a winner, myself. Good luck!

Wow Adonna, thanks so much. I appreciate your suggestion with that word and its one I toil with so I shall take another look at that. Your sixer review I shall treasure, thankyou, as I am not a free verser much at all...it even won, haha...so there you go...only a small field though so not sure it would be as strong a contender against more entries. Still a win is a win and I'll take it.
Cheers and thanks again. I haven't been here much at all lately so to enter the odd contest and do okay is helping the bank. LOL

This is a great entry with good concrete examples and the fact that love is accepting the good and bad in someone. This doesn't seem at all graphic to me. Good luck in the contest!!! Debbie

It was good, but the title should be more appealing. I should be able to say "Oooohhhh, that sounds like a good read." It was, just the title needed work.

Thanks muchly. Can't say I'm happy with the title either and believe it or not I toiled over a couple for a bit and ended up with this. Most times my titles are pretty good. Thanks for picking that up. Glad you enjoyed the important part though, the poem. LOL
