This is a beautiful anniversary poem, Janet. With wonderful imagery in every stanza and your inspired use of your tears and laughter playing the melody of your favorite song together, it is quite the tribute to you and your husband's love for each other. Very well done. Jim

The love that you share and have for each other will carry you through any storms that life throws at you. And looking for those threads of gold woven into each cloud afterwards will brighten your days. Happy anniversary! My husband and I just celebrated our 54th.

Wow, Janet. I certainly can feel the love shine through on your anniversary poem. There are a number of lines I could highlight which resonated with me. My wife and I recently (4/28) celebrated quietly number 44. How many do you and yours have?

Wishing you the best,
John

This is a lovely poem for your anniversary Janet, a time to treasure each year celebrated. Loved the internal rhymes of haunting, daunting and the well used alliteration. Beautiful presentation, and congrats to you both.

What a lovely anniversary serenade. I like how you use the senses in your piece from 'breezes whisper' to 'echo of a loon' to 'scent of gardenias.' And you have some wonderful images. 'Soft threads of gold weave through the morning clouds' is an amazing description. Thank so much for sharing your beautiful poem, and best wishes in the contest.

-Your note and poem are appreciated, Janet.
-I don't think you are alone with having a crazy year,
and I am glad you have a strong relationship to get
you through the difficult times.
-You have used excellent nature imagery to
express many different emotions, like
"The haunting, daunting echo of a loon."
-I like your concluding verse with "two-part harmony."
-One very small thing: The scent....fills the air.
-Thanks for sharing your poem.

Hi Janet,
first of all... A very happy Anniversary to you and your love.

Your poem had an ageless feel to it... something so full of life, enhancing visual senses through thought.
Your rhyme in this format worked a treat.

All the very best of wishes in this 'love' contest Janet... but it sounds as though you have already won that contest... and who knows, you may hit a double!

With our thoughts we create...
the gift of love.

Kind regards,
James.

This is a beautiful anniversary poem. The imagery is lovely, as are the thoughts of love. I consider it truly outstanding and marked it so, even though there is one grammatical error. It should be "A morning dew lies heavily. (Hardest verb tense to get right every time is lie/lay!)
