Hi Pattie, yikes! You lost me in the Ampeltum directions. Sounds like a big challenge to me.
I loved your poem. I have images of a girl/woman with lack of confidence, who is unsure of her luck with love. I enjoyed the pretty font. The black background accentuates the picture. Very nice
Hugs

    Hi Trisha; thank you so much for stopping by to read and review. I think the poets on the site back in 2010 enjoyed creating formats that stretched poetic talents to the max! You got the point of the poem,

Hi Patty,

This is another challenging format of poetry that you did very well. I also liked the theme. Someone is happy in love, after having had hurt in the past. It can be an amazing feeling.
I particularly liked:
Your love fills every need,
You fit me like a glove,
You make me feel so new,
You were sent from above.

    Hi Jade; thank you for the lovely review of this piece. I wrote it about my love for my hubby and even when I read it over, I'm reminded of how lucky I am,

    Yes, you are very lucky. Always be grateful :)
    I was never very lucky when it comes to love, lol. I was always more lucky financially. It's great to have money, and for a long time I focused on that and on a future writing career. But eventually, reality hits, love is all that matters :)

This romantic poem has a sweet simplicity about it. You are courageous to try that new form. The story in the poem seems to be of a person hoping that her/his new romance will last. The acknowledgement of the person being sent from above is inspiring.

LOVE, I have read so much of love, this write and style gives to me the defining feel of love, confused, amused and more than anything it can be a fun silly emotion " I am so happy now"

This is a wonderful love poem. I really enjoyed reading it. When writing tugs at the heart, you know it's good. And that is exactly what it did to me.
Thank you for sharing,
Dan

Simple and elegant. No complicated words, feels like I am saying it out myself. Each line reflects a pleasant thought and feeling. When put together brings to life a wonderful poem. Kudos.

Very nicely written, but again - it seems like a simple four quatrain poem a bit overregulated unnecessarily. The repeated line and sounds just don't seem to create a form that stands out. But that's just my opinion.

    Hi there; I do agree that some of the poetic forms I have found are overregulated. However, the challenge they present intrigues me.
    I'm thankful for your time to read and review. Your words do encourage me and I always look forward to your reviews,

    You're welcome, Patty. I am considering posting a new form myself which is a lot easier to understand and write in.

    I look forward to it!

I like the poem and the skill that went into creating it. I believe most people, if not all, seek this kind of emotion for a partner. There are some unanswered questions sought by the lover that hold the key to continued happiness. Maybe a part 2 for sustained joy?

    Hi there; thank you so much for your time to read and review. I'm not sure if I could do a Part 2. The challenge and fun of creating this form has passed!

MustangPatty. I loved this style. Your words painted a sweet image of the wonders that can be found when discovering a love that hopefully was meant to be. The picture was just the right choice as well. Gramalot8

This poem leaves a very nice, mellow aftertaste. It makes me feel like going on a honeymoon. I think your ryhme scheme fits your topic nicely and I like that your first few stanzas start off with questions but your final stanza is all statements. The lover journeyed from uncertainty to security and a happy endings. I like happy endings.
