This free verse trips off the tongue easily and you have used occasional rhyme to good effect. The business of bread-winning often keeps us apart during the day and your description of the welcome reuniting in the evening is heart-warming.

I'm not in a position to write great reviews on free verse - I'll admit it's my least favourite type to write, and I'm often at a loss how to comment on it.

That said, I found the subject matter and content of this one very relatable, and I really liked the way the words flowed smoothly.

The nit-picky part of me says since you've chosen to punctuate, I'd love to see a period right at the end - but that's neither here nor there.

I think you've done a great job with it, well done.

Craig

That was lovely. I hope you showed your husband this poem, I'm sure he loved it.
We don't write these little love poems enough to show how much we love and care for the love in our life. This is really sweet. You couldn't have put it better. Well done. :) Sandra xx

There's lots of poetry in the simple things. This down to earth portrayal of how you day is centred around your husband's departure and return gives us a glimpse of your love for him.

Perfect ending:
In his arms for the night,
My heart takes flight

A slice of a meaningful, lovely work day about how a creatively pre-occupied house-wife who maintains a happy living with dreams of power and recognition; I enjoyed the flow of thoughts and stunning imagery.

Sounds like a wonderful and living relationship. Great visuals here, I can picture the whole thing - the breakfast, the coffee, the long wait for the loved one to cone home, the happy reunion.

I delve into free verse too from time to time - sometimes rhymed poetry just doesn't grasp the occasion.

I enjoyed this_ thank you for sharing.

I enjoyed reading this poem about your husband and the hours that pass until his return. My husband is a truck driver so I don't see him for weeks. How I wish I could see him everyday! Good read.

I thought this was very well done.
It shows the bond between you and is emotional but not overly so.
It is a very nice piece of work and I am sure your husband loved it when you read it to him.
