Excellent

solid use of rhyming couplets
each other's arms - add the hyphen
This is definitely a light and sweet poem
How wonderful that after fifty years you still feel this way and that he still makes you feel this way :-) Brooke

Hi Mary:}
You certainly wrote a sweet and lighthearted romance poem as required by the prompt. This almost tells the story of my own romance. I met Marilyn fifty-two years ago when we both baled out of a boring and inept creative writing workshop. We went on to coffee (Well that's what I remember, but Marilyn claims that coffee has never crossed her lips.) Next night, a movie. Next week at our parents homes.

We met on December 29,1960, were engaged on Valentine's Day and married on St. Patrick's Bay. Now we are approaching the end of our fifty-two years of wedded bliss.

The timing of your poem is perfect so more love and Irish Hugs. I somehow ran out of stars. Wish I had six for you.

Roger

Thanks roger, I am so pleased that you enjoyed the poem, and to hear about your 52 years of wedded bliss. We will be 50 years married next August. I guess my poem was a bit premature, but only months. Regards to Marilyn, Mary

I love "Boy meets girl" stories! This was well written. Like the happy ending - how the first kiss was the beginning of 50 years of marital bliss!

All the best with teh contest!

Matrimonial bliss cannot be matched esp. when the reign of years spans over decades.
Nice metaphor:Happy to be in each others arms,
drinking in loves magic charms.

This is a wonderful poem. I has a light and sweet tone. It is a lovey theme, and you communicate it well. The picture is enchanting.

Thanks Barbara for the great view and the compliment on my painting.

Comment from MarjorieAnne

Average

Definitely romantic, with light and sweet moments on every line. No comma needed between "spell" and "met". Switch from past to present tense in line five breaks the flow. Comma needed between " sight" and "hearts". "Others" and "loves" need apostrophes. Too many of the word "I" in lines nine and ten.

So perfectly put. This is the romance that we all dream about. Yet, it is so elusive and rare. It takes work but, you show that dreams are indeed possible. well done on the poem and more importantly, in life. mikey
