This is an excellent poem for the Love contest
with very good rhymes in the abcb form.
It reads perfectly, but it is the message that differences are a part of compatibility that shines.
I'm with you on Rock & Roll and Happy Days. Perhaps Tool Time with Tim Allen would be a good compromise.
Well done.
Best wishes and good luck in the contest.
Robert

You are so sweet Robert! Thank you for you kind review and encouraging words! Lol, we have finally compromised, as we both have fond memories of Gunsmoke and Lone Ranger. However, they are both Westerns, so I think he got the better deal! I guess I don't mind, as I do have a tv in the bedroom.
My heart is just so full & thankful that neither of us have to face the evening with one of our chairs empty! Thanks again Robert & God Bless!

I watched both Gunsmoke and the Lone Ranger many years ago. Also Have Gun Will Travel with Richard Boone and Sea Hunt with Lloyd Bridges. Great memories. Probably a dozen others too.

gifts in their lives. Thank you for the author's notes - they compliments

I really enjoyed this and identified with much of it. The meter isn't perfect, but the sentiment is! Since your poem is addressed to your husband all the way through, it would be better to say to "you" in the last sentence. You could include his name in or under the title.

This is a very sweet and well written love poem about you and your husband. From your pretty picture of you two you look like you belong together. I can totally relate as my husband and I are so different in so many ways, but we have grown to have so many things we like together after 35 years! And we have three handsome sons and a lot of cats! lol

You did a great job with your poem, Mystery Author. I enjoyed reading it. Your examples are supportive, there's smooth flow, and your notes are true. As they say 'opposites attract.' You contrasted you and your hubby well. All in all you both love each other and work at marriage which is what every married couple must do.
Best wishes in the contest.
Respectfully, Jan

Comment from Sandra Stoner-Mitchell
Often differences make for a more interesting marriage, and more to talk about. But it's more the little things that are the binding to glue a couple together. Children, and friends, family and workmates. Mix them all in a pot and you have a long lasting marriage like yours. Well done, I loved your poem, and wish you the best of luck in the contest. :) Sandra xx

A true soulmate! A lasting love and opposites do attract. This poem was beautifully done and is a great tribute to everlasting love and faith. I truly enjoyed this piece. I'm sure your husband did as well. Wonderful!

It sounds like you've had a wonderful life together, you are very lucky to have each other. Sometimes its better to be opposite, or it might get boring. Best of luck in the contest. :)
