Nicely done. The picture and poem construction are great. Throwing in some rhyme was quite effective. Good job in going through the chronology of a loving marriage.

This is a very lovely poem. It is lyrical and the form in interesting. It is a beautiful love poem. I've never written anything with a shape before. It must have taken quite a bit of work. Well done. Good luck in the contest.

-Very nice artwork
and presentation, kahpot.
-You wrote a very good love poem.
-Effective imagery and rhyme.
-You also tell a story about
this love, how it began, and
how it grew to what it is now.
-I like this line that shows togetherness:
"with love in one name."
-I also like the comparison
to a diamond that is shown
in the shape of the poem.
-Very good concluding lines, too.
-A good entry; good luck.

    I looked at your poem and read my review. Some of it didn't make very good sense so I changed it a little, and also took out the suggestions.

To me this looks like a double nonet, one inverted above a normal one (I counted the syllables and still came to the same conclusion). In this context, referring to corner stones and diamonds is very pertinent, bringing the shape of the text into the actual (well-written) poem. Well done!

Rich in Theme and Imagery.
It talks of true love and then an eventual outcome being of course the family created as if a diamond in a rough come to life.

Beautiful poem and very skilfully crafted with the two Nonets combined to make a diamond shape. It is lovely to read of this enduring marriage with love as the corner stone, like a diamond never misplaced.
Best wishes for your entry in the contest.
Wendy
Suggestion: "our perfect lives begin", without an apostrophe.

A beautiful romance story in your well formed double nonet with rhyme! You tell about commitment and a faithful love that grew over time. Best wishes in the contest!

live's begin. (lives) if you mean the plural. But perhaps you mean "our perfect life's begun?" for life is begun.
