This is a gently sweet poem that is indicative of newness, but you spend your time with someone you've been with for a long time. I did not see the word "sunset" in your work? Also in the first stanza, it should be "sways," because the subject of the sentence is the "first blush", not fliers.
Despite these small errors, this is a very lovely poem.
Good luck in the contest,
Blessings, Cindy

Hello :)
This is really lovely!
The theme of enduring love is delightful and the scene you paint of the picnic is both sweet and comedic at the same time (the ants, the dark clouds, the grill that refuses to light!)
You have successfully used all the required words, and they blend in beautifully to the rest of the poem - no shoe-horning whatsoever!
Perfect rhyme and meter. Well written and presented.
Good luck in the voting booth.
Best wishes, Debra :)

Congratulations. You managed to use all of the words and make sense of them. When I read the contest description, I couldn't imagine how the words could make much of a poem. You proved it can be done. Good luck with the contest.

"As fireflies, like beacons light our way." This is my favorite line. You used the words beautifully, so well that I would never have known it was a prompt.

You used your required words naturally. I like the photo you paired with your poem. I like the way you used sunset, and that after many years, your love still lifts your hearts.

Nice.
