You my friend should be on stage in a comedy club. Line after line has smiles waiting to be set free. Very humorous. Look forward to reading more of your stuff.

Comment from Jeff Flaig
This is real poetry. This is the kind of work that one hundred years later will be taught in the classroom. Oh, they say things about it that aren't true, but they think they know better, but the simplicity of good writing will always shine. I do like this style of poetry.
Thanks for Sharing it.

This is a super review. Thanks Jeff. X
Comment from JPGeo
The best poems are honest and written from the heart. So good to read this. I like the double rhyme in the 3rd line of each stanza. It gives the poem and excellent rhythm and read. I also love the double negative in the last line...just perfect.
I'm sorry but you'll get no criticisms from me on this.
Cheers,
John

Comment from K.L. Rockquemore
What a wonderfully written poem. Your words feel light and airy but left a strong message. How wonderful to find your sole mate, even if it wasn't love at first sight. Congrats on your 18 years, I hope you have many more .

Comment from webfoot
so weird. I can totally relate to this poem, having finally met "the one" because i was "dragged" to a dance by a couple of friends.
We also have been together for 18 years and i wasn't "attracted" to him at first sight but he grew on me. Maybe this is the way to go for some of us girls (with bad taste, as in my case)
thanks for writing "the poem" Linda. I've never written about this experience and now i don't have to :)

Funny how things turn out. I appreciate your feedback. Thank you. X
Comment from victor 66
This is a fascinating and realistic love story, if I've ever heard one. It is much better than the frivolity that involves "pomp and circumstance" to make the words flow. I really enjoyed this poem. Best wishes.

You are most welcome, Linda.
Comment from Mary Vigasin
I truly enjoyed this lighthearted and warm writing. Often finding love is pictured as flowery or lightning bolts that suddenly hit us. Many walk away because they did not feel a "romantic connection." Yet that is what love is companionship, getting to know a person, accepting them with their quirks and flaws.
This poem follows what I found in my husband and how our companionship grew.
Beautifully written.
Best wishes,
Mary

Comment from nomi338
I am so pleased that you had nothing else to do. Otherwise we might never have been treated to this comedic gem. I love reading pieces like this as we all need a laugh from time to time. I may even be anemic, as I look for laughs all the time, cannot seem to ever get enough. Thank you for this one, please give me more.

I know how you feel nomi338. I try to search out the humour but there just isn't enough. Thanks for the great review x
Comment from juliaSjames
The grammar is a bit wonky in places. But I really warmed to your love story in a poem. It's quirky, engaging and humourous. It's true that sometimes we don't see the personality behind the unappealing facade unless we spend quality time with someone.
It's also true that you've got to get out there and put some skin in the game if you want to get the best out of life.
A delightful write. Thanks for sharing.
Stay safe and blessed
Julia

Comment from SimianSavant
Lesson to men: ask out women who are doing nothing. hahaha. So much for playing hard to get.
you should be going <= I think you mean to write: you should go. Native English speakers don't write this the other way. It is tricky to explain why -- basically *be going* implies a pattern of behavior, like you should be going on more dates, but in this case it's referring to a discrete event -- someone has invited you somewhere.
If I hadn't gone Id never know he was the one <= missing an apostrophe on I'd
That's it for edits. Thanks for the read!
Best,
